Waffen ss skins

[Kaminski]

Thanks for the advice and suggestions guys. Yup, the ss smock variety would look really good in quite a few maps, I think your quite right bosco, chief among them would be the Bridges map, its one of my favourites too. I'd like to see some tanks for the Germans added for that map and perhaps some sdk.fz 251's as well, that would be a game changer, so I hope the vehicle mod team come up with a 251 soon, I'll make some ss tank crews shortly with cammo panzer wraps, probably in peadot 44, and black m43 feldmutze caps.

Volution, sent me this head to pose the models with, thanks mate, re-sized and made it fit the ss model, here you go bud, just for you.

Looks good.
How much time do you need for the skins? I would love to see this kind of camo on them:

btw:

Spoiler!

Hardcore is right, the swatiksa is banned in some European countries, but not the runes.

However, runes are part of an ancient Nordic alphabet that first started appearing on metalwork, stone and wood carvings in Northern Europe during the dark ages and beyond, they arn't banned.

We could quite easily blur the small swastika badge at some point, but if I or anyone else runs a server with this mutator on it in the US or UK we're not breaking any law, if people from banned countries don't want to use the server or are offended, they can choose not to use that server.

Also, this whole banning thing is inconsistent to say the least, for example the recent German made movie "Downfall" features swastikas, ss runes, nazi symbols gallor, and its not banned in Germany.

I think these inconsistant laws were a knee jerk re-action to sensitivities after the end of ww2, they are outdated and need to catch up to the new and growing media of video games, if TV and movies arn't banned, then why video games, ask yourself that?

SS runes and unit insignias are banned (just like swastikas), the reason they are still in movies etc is because that stuff counts as art, PC games not. However, nobody will ever check this mod and flag it (DH had swastikas/SS runes etc all over the place). And please don't blur it out, esp. when you leave that SS stuff in since it would be useless.

great work being done here!.
(I like the new model of the head, it has a period correct haircut!)

 

[Kaminski]

Josephbeier, that would be the autumn cammo/winter cammo reversable parker. I don't think it would be a problem to make a set of models using that pattern for winter maps maybe, get the smock ones in game first though eh?

Great!!!!!!!!!!!! :d

 

[griffner]

Looks fabulous ! Can't wait to shoot these down

 

[Kaminski]

Thanks, been messing around learning how to pose these things, here's the results. a little bit better than the standard "T" pose I suppose.

 

[Kaminski]

Just pulled these models out of the character package with umodel and adjusted it , so that the panzer wrapper is a little shortened, the trousers too, put all the necessary waffen ss markings on him, and a few awards, cuff title and so on, I'll make a crewman variation to go with the commander at some point, once I've finished the normals and specs I'll pose him up.

 

[Unterscharfuhrer]

I think the SS Rune isn`t a problem. In germany are only swastikas(hope it`s the right word) forbidden. But there are also exceptions so you can buy movies with swastikas in it but for example in black ops are no swastika banners in the german version.

Darkest Hour had also swastikas in it and noone sues me yet for playing it!
Strange laws in Germany about that whole nazi thing imo!

This skins look really nice, I like the different medals on the Unterscharf

 

[Kaminski]

Just starting work on these guys, they'll be used for the winter maps and will have either the autumn or winter cammo, haven't decided yet, but changed the wireframe model quite a bit.

 

[zac]

Very nice

 

[Kaminski]

Thanks Zac, just messing about posing charcters and using props, here you go.

 

[The Chocolate Jesus]

Very nice work Kaminski!

 

[Susi]

Nice work , is it me or are the helmets and caps too large?

 

[Nylle]

Hola amigos!
Just looking at the polygons, I think the Winter/Autumn Parka looks very interesting.
Its great to see some custom skins Kaminski! I wish I could do only half as good. Maybe some day that shipment of greencoats will arrive to the German stalingrad frontlines. I can only imagine how cool the germans will look with thier facewraps and all.
p.s. Aren't the German cold enviorment heroes allready wearing winter parkas?
I guess it dosen't matter, because I prefer Kaminski's mesh.

 

[Catalavos]

Where'd ya' get that fancy Kubelwagen?

 

[saprize]

Come on stop teasing already and get us a way to get this into the game!!!

 

[JosephBaier]

Looks awesome!

Nice work , is it me or are the helmets and caps too large?

a little bit and the hands are looking weird, you (Kaminski) should add gloves and tweak the faces a bit (+autumn parka http://www.thehistorybunker.co.uk/acatalog/AutumnOakLeafParka60.jpg as winter/autumn camo)
After that it would be pretty much release ready.

He looks like a Nazi hipster!! very nice skins anyway

 

[Giuliano]

The SS had those haircuts before any hipster

Kinda makes me wish I didn't have the exact same hair :/
