Textures - Where do you find them? - Gamer28 - 10-02-2018

Hi there,

I came across a great website that provides pictures of all the different types of camoflage in the world. You can search by country:

http://camopedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

I was hoping to find a picture of the type of color that US soldiers used during the Vietnam war - a type of olive green. However, because it is not considered camoflage, this site does not have a copy of it.

Does anyone know of any other websites similar to Camopedia?

If you wanted to use Gimp to make a US Army uniform, where would you go to find the right color scheme to copy?

I would search for photographs from that era. Maybe some of the magazines (LIFE / TIME) from those years. For example there is a one here https://imgur.com/gallery/3nexs not great quality but a starting point. Might be ok for that plain colour. edit: Or maybe this is a better one

To get a pattern there are ways of making your own see: https://gimplearn.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=149#p392

or a bit copy/paste/scale/resynthesize to get a tilable pattern. example

The technical term for that green is OG107, or olive green 107.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OG-107

Dark olive green is close, and some sites claim the hex code is #556B2F

I would reduce the saturation a bit, and even add some slight CIE noise to the final texture.

I prefer #5b6942 as a bit less saturated, but it really depends on the context.
