I did some more work on it last night, after my game of PR crashed, and the outlook looks good after some editing and sharpening/optimizing shizz etc etc. We could do this, would take 1/2 a day to do all of the PLA vehicles max. Just depends if we want to do it in jungle camo or gay pride blue and white camo, or leave it as is.

I am having a load of fun exploring all the options anyways :P

This last Chinese military parade, where these new camos were shown, displayed some nice vehicles, especially new Marines IFVs and the Chinese BMP3-like tank. I hope these babies will find their way into PR eventually ^^.

I think these camo's in the parade is really just some lame fashion statement, i mean seriously would any army send there equipment out to war camouflaged like that? Unless there trying to kill us with mirth I don’t think so.

Maybe they realised that it's a tank, and it probably won't be able to hide anyway :-P

That flourescent looking blue ocean camo APC on the trainwagon would look like a puddle of Cherenkov effect came floating towards the shore. The taiwanese couldnt miss that for sure. :confused:

I like the digital camo prototypes, good work matrox!

Nah, take a look at the tanks with the green pattern (parade pic posted on the second page). Imagine the tanks that are not so close to the camera in a woodland terrain. I can imagine that it wouldnt be much of a problem for them to hide.

it makes things harder to discover, since the shape of an object is harder to discover

Chineses really cant do anything on their own...

I must agree it is QUITE similar to the CADPAT... But since Canadian Army create the digital pattern,chinese can be sure it work =D

More aggressive and futuristic looking than regular camo.

I've seen guys in old school camo just outright disapear...I wonder how this stuff is supposed to be better, myself.

Normal camo gets blurry over distance and creates a nice even pattern over the whole object.
Big digital edges stay sharp to distract from the real silhouette of the vehicle.

It's so you can't identify exactly how many tanks they have until they roll over you and you realize that they have several thousands. In a ground war, all your base are belong to China. Yay digital camo.
