Forgotten Hope News Update: 26th of December

I see this as a variation of the Heisenberg principle, color changes not between observations, but changes because it is being observed.

You can say it louder, but not clearer!

There's not enough resolution in the texture/render to make any claim which version of the camo pattern is displayed here. I see varying claims here about colors based on pictures taken under different circumstances (lighting, camera settings/properties, monitor calibration, color perception of the human brain etc) of items that even IRL vary greatly (weathering, storage condition, dye degradation, fabric tension, age and variation of the quality of cloth, dyes and chemicals used at the time of manufacture etc)...

Lighting is incredibly complex. Outdoor lighting is affected by things like weather conditions (cloudiness, air humidity filters light differently), occlusion and reflection of nearby objects and ground, even our sun's light emittance varies from time to time (relative size in sky due to time of year, even sunspots). Indoor lighting is greatly affected by the type of light source, the chemicals in the light bulb and type of material. The colors on the walls and the chemicals and texture of the paint.

Anyone attempting to make definitive statements about color is nuts and only deluding himself. Colors and even contrast are not absolute and change continuously. As a graphics artist, I work with colors all the time and have developed an appreciation for the way nature manipulates color (and it's observers!) as it pleases. When someone asks me what my favorite color is, I honest to god don't know what to answer; for this color changes all the time. I see this as a variation of the Heisenberg principle, color changes not between observations, but changes because it is being observed.

Remdul said it!

Military costume debate

Yes it was german

[kettcar]

Stunning.

I hope that the Bulge maps will be a good mix of open/close quarters, normandy was a bit to closed for my taste.

for sure, maps are bigger 

But then there's the trees, so bigger levels might feel as closed as the Normandy ones, but you know, bigger. 

forest overall? no, trust me, its more open then u think.

(maybe i have to update my sig?)

[Ts4EVER]

I always wondered why people never seem to comment on your sig

A ad bit deeper.  All i see is Mudra, Sumpftarn, Reverse splinter (?), and rage posts.

[Steel_Lion_FIN]

After ninth page it turned into flamewars.

[Ts4EVER]

The problem is that the trousers of the middle guy in the first pic look a lot like Sumpftarn, a pattern that was used post war by the Bundeswehr. Von mudra thought a mistake was made by the devs. He thought it was supposed to be a WW2 era pattern and that the devs had somehow messed up the colouring. However, what really happened was that they added a very rare pattern that just ahppens to look like that postwar one on the screenshot and which vonMudra had not expected (because of how rare it was). So yeah.

Anyway, change of topic. Talk about kettcars sig or something.

[McCloskey]

Sooo, kettcar's sig picture is like Foy in summer/fall?

btw that picture of Belgium (which I assume it is) is going to be my new wallpaper.

[Smiles]

Just say what map is is and when it comes out. No need to ask or drool for.

So why the heck add something that rare? I WANNA SEE A GREAT COAT!
No even better a Fallshirmjager smock over a great coat!
I wonder if we will ever see some camo smocks in FH2

Bingo xD

And yes, Kettcar's sig is interesting

Engine limitations... greatcoats would mean using a different set of animations.
That means that on that map, all the soldiers would have to wear a greatcoat.
And they wouldn´t even or ever look as good as they should.

Because it is a easy reskin and not much work is needed to add it.
And rare is relative. Yes that camo pattern was rare in comparison to other patterns, but it was frequently used!
