Title: An Example of Color change
Description: How One Model can Change By colors

Here is what I use to build a color scheme... Example the commando Body type has to be used for three Diffrent Factions.

The body base is a T-shirt, Cargo pants and Boots. All other parts are added ontop of this by attachment handles in the model itself.

The fact is if ever uniform was colored the same no one could tell which side any one was on. Thankfully there are many type of BDU based on the same Cutting pattern. thus the Shape can be teh same but the uniform will look dramaticly diffrent.

Heres the Example of two Diffrent Factions Base Colors. Please not the image is not what I'm using to build the model with, just an idea of what colors goes where.

First we have STUD's BDU colorations:

This is a custom Uniform made for STUD which no other brance or privet buy can get. thus making them distictive. Notice they don't much care about Camo patters like the Army or DEEP-6. this isbecasue the Zombie have such a blurry eye sight it doesn't much matter, hiding the human figure with color splotchs.

Now we have The Army's ACU colored Patterns.

These are the Flattened out Colors of the Army Digital Pattern Known as ACU there are 3 colors used in ACU and it all pixelated. if you download this image and zoom it in by alot. you'll find that the Colors are indeed Pixelated much the same as the Army's ACU pattern. This will be of much higher detail when I crate the Tinting Texture to go oce the Cloth texture base.

When i build a model i can have the parts look any way i wish and the two diffrent faction will all look diffrent. even thought he base Body model is all exatly the same.

was that done on paint because it looks pretty good for paint.

yeah the urban BDU would be alot more useful for STUD since the biggest areas in which infestation would be alot more dense in the city.

Yes that was done in ms-paint, i only use GIMP 2.2 when i need professional quality or texture effects that paint jsut cant do. this is just a coloration swatch. sampling colors off of ACU for the lower image and custom pallet for the darker shade grays on the STUD uniform coloration.

Yeah I did the outlines of the unifom and made the outer part a diffrent color then the inner parts of teh shirt and pants and make the shirt a light shade of grat, saved out teh base so i could re use it for diffrent samples patters for the pants.

I then too an blank image the same size as the Uniform shaped body and just sampled out an ACU Digital Swath to get teh main three colors of ACY and just layed in what seemed like the base color and then used the Spray paint tool to spray in Pixelated splotches all over the image. i then again sprayed in the final color set the secondady color to white like teh pants base color and paisted from file the Whited out BDU base shape image over that. it auto centered and thus Digital ACU patterned Uniform. i then took the Base Color of the pants and used it as the Shirt Solid color and Presto, ACU BDUs....

My vesion of BDU have re-enforced knee area and a bit of a shin patch jsut over the boots. that oddly was something I forgot to remove when i made the Texture/Colorless version of the base BDUs. OOPS...

Yeah the Urban Camo would be useful but why whent he primary Enemy is the undead that can see you due to the liquid Zenlike gaze they have. really with the poor vision most of the stealth you need is not making noise and not moving unless you have to when one or two are looking. keep tot he shadows and hope to god they can't smell yuo or hear you breathing.

Just so you know Deep Six wears teh classic Urban White Black and gray tiger striped BDU's in the MOD.

The ACU's are the National Guard trapped in the city after it sealed by Black OPS and Black Ops wear Black Flight Cover all like uniforms or wet suits with tactical vest and Ninja Masks with their name on them like Ninja Krow.

I'm jsut demostrating what a diffrance the coloration in the Commando Body base can do for making three diffrent Commando Style Faction uniforms and how just beuase i'm using just one model for all three all three will look vasty diffrent jsut coloration alone.

You'll be sorry when a hoard of creeps come after you and you're exposed because of the tank top. You'll be eaten alive within seconds

:P

Actully... gives less to hold onto, but if it cold out. you freeze rapidly.

it the combative skill of the survivor that dictates who lives and who's a zombie Buffet...
