Very nice collection of lore camo.
It must have taken you ages with that barebone placeholder decal interface.
Hey, at least you can place decals with the enter key now instead of having to double-click and shifting that perfect placement by 3 pixels (if you can get it aligned with the mouse in the first place)!

I did a similar thing with some of the 'Mechs I own, painting them according to Sarna and Camospecs information (or the rulebooks I own).

The camos look nice, but holy crap almost all of the decals are terrible - that's not by your fault, they just don't fit onto the mechs either in geometry or by the fact they don't have any sort of blend into the mesh/camo.

One trick I use (if I have the spare decal slot) is to put one of the squares, circles, hexagons or whatever underneath the actual decal and then painting it so that it fits the camo colors.

You are a genius. once the numbers are perfectly aligned in the background square I can also just take it out from underneath sort of like a makeshift ruler. Absolute genius!

I've used the target decals (and the 8, actually) to line up decals for a long time, but that square method sounds neat.

Also I spent like an hour redoing the decals on my MCIIs this morning. Took way too long, but at least I managed to get stuff MOSTLY where I wanted it.

Yeah I am going to try using Jake Peril's trick to redo some of the Wolf mechs today. Honestly only my MCII-B has decals I don't really use the other ones to much and Death Strike doesn't need decals. I am glad you got yours decked out. You should post a screenshot so we can all admire it.

Those look great - well done!

1 request, for all the lazy peeps like me, can you label the pictures with the Clan name? I am not as lore-intensive as some here, and Sarna... well, I am lazy.

[M3T4L R0N1N]

So as per request I have labelled all the mechs by clan, weight and name. Also went ahead and re-uploaded all the wolf mechs with better decal placement (Thanks Jake Peril and Serenov for the wonderful advice.) and proper colour schemes; Arctic wolf has been changed to royal red, wolf brown just wasnt dark or bronzy enough for Clan Wolf in Exile Alpha Galaxy camo spec.

Furthermore the rest of the wolf mechs have been changed from their Alpha Galaxy colours to the Silver Keshik Colours that the game seems to want to make us use. Also because someone pointed out above I turned up all the graphic settings to ultra for the wolf screenshots.

I will eventually be re-uploading all the rest of these over time with better decal placement and better graphics. I really want to redo the Kodiak and Ice Hellion mechs soon and also need to figure some way to make the Smoke Jaguar Decal more visible over that camo.

Ask and ye shall receive.



(I also paint and decal my IS mechs as CGB garrison mechs, because the game lets me!)

[M3T4L R0N1N]

Sexy.

[M3T4L R0N1N]

Updated the Ghost Bear mechs so their decals are now more accurate to the lore. The red Circle on the leg is for Omicron Galaxy. Why? Because that seems to be the scheme the in game camo spec was going for.

Steel Vipers are missing or ?

Great work btw !

Each camospec is based on who designed and/or produced each and every clan mech in the game. If a Steel Viper mech ever made it's way into the game (I'm still waiting on you Black Python.) you'd see their camo represented here. Also Thanks!

Ok updated all the Smoke Jaguar omnimechs. The decal no longer blends into that Alpha Galaxy camospec. Also hadn't noticed this before but almost all of the SJ galaxy's have their insignia in a red circle. http://camospecs.com...an-smoke-jaguar

Also updated the MCII. I really wanted to incorporate the shark teeth that warriors paint onto the nose of their mech after they get their first kill but trying to line up jaws on a MCII right now is a nightmare and then it hit me... I own a Death Strike. Fun fact: Alpha Galaxy is nicknamed Death Strike. http://www.sarna.net..._Diamond_Shark)

Edit: Sorry about the Koshi there is no hope for that poor thing.
