@Tom If you're talking about reskins only, then it's not that hard after you get the hang of it. In fact updating the mod is honestly harder because the laptop that I made these on is falling apart and nothing is on my desktop.

But for new models it completely depends on your ability to 3d model. It's a skill that takes a while to learn and the furthest I got with it was creating an M1911 pistol, but then I ran into other issues.

@Colonel Jason

Yeah, feel free to use them and good luck with your mod.

Can I use your skins on my mod? I'll credit you for your efforts when its published.

mods are updated

Please update to the newest.

@oneshotkyle That's the fault of the lighting in hearts of iron IV. Take a look at the second preview screenshot of the unit side by side with the vanilla infantry. They both have the same skin color.

@TITUS(9)

No update currently. I still have know idea what is breaking the textures after last update. I've been working on it though.
TITUS(9) 30 Jun, 2017 @ 2:04pm 
Update at all?

@SilentAssassin Thx :steamhappy:
Silent  [author] 5 Mar, 2017 @ 2:05am 
@We are Number One I used a free program called GIMP and a google app called jorodox tools.
Species 8472 5 Mar, 2017 @ 2:03am 
What program did you use to make a reskin?

oh ok thanks
Silent  [author] 16 Dec, 2016 @ 12:43pm 
@nebula I can't update it today, but It should still be working even if the launcher tells you that it's outdated.
nebula 16 Dec, 2016 @ 12:20pm

Really good job with this

Update: The camouflage was changed to closer resemble the P42 uniforms in Tarawa Atoll.
NeoMuHae-X2 26 Oct, 2016 @ 5:57pm 
In that case, I believe the green side of the camo was more common at Tarawa. If you wanted to mix things up a lot of the photos show marines with a camo blouse and HBT trousers, or HBT blouse with camo trousers.

A second reskin depicting the HBTs with tan camo helmet cover would be excellent!

@JuanValijuan

I was planning on representing the uniforms used at Tarawa, but I wouldn't be against making another reskin that is green with only the helmet cover.
NeoMuHae-X2 26 Oct, 2016 @ 2:58pm 
The camo blouse and trousers were rarely used outside of a handful of mid-war campaigns (Tarawa and Saipan come to mind). The camoflage helmet cover, however, was used by most marines from 1943 on, even long after they stopped wearing the camo uniforms.

The iconic look for US marines in WW2 would be having them in the green HBTs, with mustard yellow leggings and the camoflage helmet cover. This is what they wore in most of their campaigns after Guadalcanal. Regarding whether to use the green or the tan camo, the tan is more iconic and was used more often during the war. This was, from what I recall, because marines were instructed to wear the tan side out during landings because it'd blend in better with the sand of the beaches. After the initial landings they were ideally supposed to switch to the green side, but this rarely ever happened.

Ah fair enough.

In regards to colour, I'd probably go for the green one seeing as it will look in place on all theaters.

Thanks again for the mods.

@GFY_Daniel

Currently, the USMC reskins are due for an update. I plan on recreating the entire camouflage texture to make it more accurate, but since it is a camouflage it will take a little longer than the other reskins.

I'm not sure whether I should use this

or this

http://www.hikishop.com/images/l/201312/13874203520.jpg

as a color reference.

Either one though is planned to be less bright compared to the current one.
Admiral Vag Master 16 Oct, 2016 @ 1:08pm 
Thanks for making these re-skins! Massively improves immersion except 1 thing...

Would it be possible to make the lighter colour on the USMC reskin to be less bright. It stands out too much and looks too clean next to other units.

@Pfc. A. Reus [508th PIR]-2S-

I want to wait and see if paradox releases any new paratrooper models before creating reskins because the paratrooper uniforms look extremely different compared to the infantry units we have ingame.
Crusty_Driver 8 Oct, 2016 @ 9:04am 
Can You do a 101st airborne skin for the paratrooper units please?
