Looks well,maybe if you drop opacity for about 10% or more and make it a little bit sharper.
Hope I helped you ;)

Ps Something is telling me that (example)ch_light_body_B.dds isn't working right.(or just me)
Tell me if you solve the problem ;)

The digital camo pattern looks very well (sharp textures). You really need to adjust the bump maps to the textures b/c right now it looks wrong. After you're done with the model and kits textures don't forget to reskin the faces with the appropriate colors.
Could you post some RL photos of the camo?

From the pictures I've seen the brown should be darker and more distinctive. Otherwise you've done a good job so far.

Hey nice, I was planning to try to do a reskin, guess you beat me to it ;)
the reskin looks nice, but you might want to make the colors a lot darker and slightly fadded. You could use the vBF2 USMC colors as a refrence as they are similar. Also, the secondary colors (brown, light brown, and black) patches need to be larger.

Nice job so far :)

Looks good

Try using a different texture, like this one http://textures.z7server.com/nTextures.php?id=147, on a low opacity.

Alpha (shininess) is controlled by the alpha channel on the _c skin. It is black and white where black=not shiny and white= shiny. You will need to save the skin in a dds format that supports the alpha (i use DXT5).

The bumpyness is controlled by the _b texture i think, never tried editing it so i wouldn't know, but i think there is a tool in photoshop that came with the nvidia dds plugin, go to filters>nvidia tools>normal map. Never used it though.

Good luck

Looks great! I've been waiting for someone to do this.

The light colour should be more of a grey I think:

If you could do the other types as well that would be awesome.

Also, remember to implement my "skin audit" features that I did to all uniforms. Ie, spc ops hat should not be red, no red bits anywhere, no coloured flags, all stand out stuff subdued etc.

Urban / Desert

It would be very cool if you could make those too, especially the urban for places like Sunset City.

Very Nice :)

The colors are still slightly off IMO, might want to add more black patches, enlarge and darken the brown patches a bit, and make the green a tiny bit olive colored.

The light colored patches look dead on, just my opinion.

good work man :)

The light patches need to be more gray.
