Anyone have any decent reference pictures of a MRAP Cougar 6x6 version.

I found
http://www.toycollector.com/index.php?o ... unc=fb_pdf
Which has some good photos.

But I need a good side, front and rear view so I can try and model it.
I have a brother inlaw in iraq atm but I don't think they are allowed to take pictures of it for some reason.

so any links to front/side/rear orthographic views (Little perspective) would be greatly helpful.

Don't get your hopes up for ever seeing one of these in game though, just fyi.

Your best bet is to go straight to the source- the service websites.

The U.S. Navy

The United States Army Homepage

Marines.mil :: Official Home of the United States Marine Corps

AF.mil - Home

They have high res photos of just about any US vehicle you want and search features in their galleries. And if that fails, there's also the manufacturer, Force Protection.

ya, I e-mailed force protection, been 2 weeks and no response.

could not find any pictures on the military's websites, marines or army.

there is a ton of pictures on google but nobody thinks to take pictures with 3d artists in mind!!

Going to keep trying my military buddies, but i know a few of the PR guys here are deployed so figured might as well ask.

By the way, taking pictures with a longer lens actually gets you less perspective and more of a flat image so that is really the best way to take reference pictures. I use a 135mm lens personally for orthographics.

google has a lot of pictures, they are pretty cool in person

I could try and get some from work. We have a **** ton of them in our motor pool.

Lower two are not Cougar, but Navistar/IMG's Category I 4x4 MRAP.

Will see what I can dig up.

ya, if i didn't suck at modeling i could model from pics with a bit of perspective, the one up there that is a rear view with the door open helped a bit, but the proportions are weird on my model for some reason.

Hard to find 2 pictures that are taken from approximately the same distance from them.

I just need to work on my modeling technique and learn to eye ball better really ><
