[Soldiers] NZDF Soldiers [WIP]

[HangMan_]

Here are the soldiers for the NZDF, they still need a little update for the new NZ Army kit. This is low priority though seeing as the kit will take a while to get out to our troops. Enjoy

cool, so will you just be re-skinning current PR models or making your own somewhere down the line?

At the moment the plan is to stick with the US soldier model then do our own kit geoms

I advise you also look into other BF2 models to reskin, as that's what happening within development for 0.9 for most of the in-house factions.

You can also do wonders with trying to place one face from one model onto another

I took the vest off the Brit soldier haha and placed it on the US heavy one. Works a dream i think.

Why should i change model? Is the vbf2 US Soldier being made redundant? Recession aye....

From a Kit Geometry standpoint -- it's nice to have all the player models with similar dimensions. If you reskin some of the BF2:SF player models, you can have a wide variety of heads using the same/similar body.

Any plans to skin a Maori soldier?

Yes there will be a maori soldier. I may look at reskinning the US Navy Seal soldier. At the moment it will be the African American US soldier that gets converted to Maori.

Also one more thing, try to skin the full body armour from the heavy soldiers onto the light US soldier so it looks like he's wearing body armour rather than a thin cloth vest.

He's not wearing body armour though It is just a thin vest for the webbing.

I know, however in game terms all conventional faction player models have body armour regardless of the visual. The closest you can get is to make the apparently unarmoured soldiers look like their wearing armour by texture. (I'll show you what I mean as I did the same thing with the US soldiers for 0.9)
