Playing around with the sculpting in blender seeing what kind of results I can get with the SADF Bush hat as a test.
Will tackle this properly later on though when the time comes to sculpt the uniforms.
This bushhat unissued one. Could be a later version though if it's not exactly the same as what was worn from 1966-1989 @Kooijpolloi
Ja don't worry about it as it's just a test to see what the sculpting tools are like in Blender. I'll tackle it seriously later on when the time comes to create the uniforms for the factions
The ideal result is something like this.
Ja
The texture quality and baked sculpted wrinkles is what I am looking for
Ja the current hats have less of a flat top
Albeit I suppose it depends how you wear it
Notice the guy on the left wears it quite low down making the top rounded while the guy on the right with the face covering wears it "looser" like the old SADF giving it a flat top look
True. Head shape matters.
IIRC they tend to shrink in the sun or when washed?
When I got mine there were different sizes. One was really tight on my head so I went for a larger size
Whereas the helmet is I think a medium or small size
Ja I remember a reference to that fact in Teenage Safari by Evan Davies. Some blokes washed their uniforms purposely to get that faded effect of an "oumman"
Ja same
Wasn't a fan of it in the past but it grew on me hard and strong
I will be making the SANDF as well since most of the content fits right into the SADF as well
Yup
Same R4's, Casspirs etc
Although I do know there are some differences with the older Casspirs and the newer ones. For example the newer Casspirs got rid of the grill mirrors and replaced them with full steel shrouds
I haven't seen that. Where do you keep up to date with the SANDF stuff?
Ah alright. Same here just haven't seen the Cheetah camo on the Gripen.
Ah I thought you were talking about this - https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/3/8/6/1810683.jpg?v=v40
Looks quite decent not bad. Interesting though they no longer use the old two tone camouflage?
Maaaaybe... Down the line? Thing is if jets don't make it into vanilla Squad that means it would be more difficult to import into Squad and work properly.
So pray jets come... (unlikely though).
But the impala, bosbok and mirage FCZ and other variants played a major role in the war so it would be weird without them....
Ja helis are coming definitely for vanilla which will make it easy to import custom helicopter models and reuse their framework
Maybe but honestly I'd rather model it myself
the Puma as I'd need to modify it down the line
For the Atlas Oryx
@ZATr0ll Alouette will be in as well if you're wondering.
Some progress on the Eland 60 and 90.
Starting to shape up nicely now. Been a challenge so far and will continue to be til they are complete.
Early WIP of the Ratel 90.
Proportions seem a little off on the front which'll be sorted out soon enough.
Ja not a bad box out
Yup the round surfaces are what makes things a biatch to model! Ratel has none of that.
Hey guys, been a bit busy purchasing the new parts of my new computer (that I will soon build once I receive all my parts) so I haven't had much time to work on the Ratel so I did a bit tonight! I'd like to go further but I've got to end it short here as I have to be up early.
Great catch man! Ja I noticed the difference in headlight positions and guards for them.
The one in the museum is a Mk I preproduction I think
Took these photos of it back in 2015.
This one has both lights at the top and bottom from what it looks like.
Triangular guard on the top
This one with no lights on the top only at the bottom.
ZT3 with lights on the top and bottom?
Looks like a MK I here with the preproduction guard as you mentioned.
This one has an oddly shaped top light guard.
Another Mk I?
Another triangular guard one.
I'd like to match the different versions as best as I can so depending on the map and the Op it is set in the vehicles would match that year and thus model
True well the idea is to include both the Mk I and the other variants albeit how accurate I'll get them is something I've yet to determine due to lack of information on the differences between all the Mks but I'll give it my best shot.
Cheers for the information @PetraCephas always great to learn more from you ๐
My brother was held up at gunpoint last night...
Poor Mo was attached last night by 4 guys. He had gone to buy cigarettes as he works at night for the Americans and as he got to his gate 4 guys pounced on him. He tried to shut the gate but they used crow bars to get in. They were all armed. They beat him up a bit and trod on him. He started shouting but was told if he didnโt shut up they would shoot him. They stole his laptop and server, tv, cellphone and guitar. They asked where his safe was to which he replied โdo I look like a guy who would have a safe?โ. Heโs ok but very traumatized xxx ๐
That was the message my father received this morning (he and I are expats) for the very reason as to what happened to my brother.
Agh so fucking fed up of the criminal thugs in our beloved country. It's appalling... Now that makes it 5 members of my family that have experienced the exact same scenario.
myself, my oldest brother and his wife were held up at gunpoint, tied up and robbed in 2015. My mother was jumped by five men as she arrived home one day in 2005, tied up and held at gunpoint as they ransacked her house.
And now my second oldest brother last night. I only have one brother left that has not experienced this. I guess when he does we'll play the lotto and win?
Anyway just venting my frustration. As there is nothing else one can do in this situation. If only we had a government that actually cared about resolving the crime problem but that's wishful thinking.
Looks like I'm going to get HardOps and Boxcutter addons at some point
They look flipping amazing! Saves so much time with what they allow you to do.
Another day, another bunch of renders!
Some decent progress on the Ratel today.
