digital camo

[Frens]

Will the USMC (or anybody else) paint their vehicles with new digital camo?

[FallenAngel]

I doubt it.

OD or Desert Tan is the way they go.

It would be quite the paint job and very time consuming...almost near impossible...it would take absolutely forever to do any vehicle in MARPAT.

[Tane Angle]

I could see them using Coyote Brown as their main color on vehicles, but is that even possible, or does it only have its affects when in thread?

[Ratamacue]

Seems to me that a vehicle painted coyote brown would probably stick out like a sore thumb in very green areas no matter how versatile a color it is. They'll probably stick with their current patterns/colors on the vehicles.

Agreed, coyote brown would only seem to work well in small patches, i.e. body armor, vest, etc....

lol the paintjob would take probably months just to do 1 vehicle

Which is why there's some experimentation with camo decals. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be rugged enough at the moment for military use.

Vehicles? I wanna know when my MARPAT face paint is coming.

Nature has a tendency to make or vechiles camo for us just take a look at a hummvee used in a combat zone there always mud splattered or sandy paint it brown and let nature do the rest

Surely vehicles could be painted with a proportionately larger digital effect, big brown and white squares instead of little ones ?

Not at all photoshopped. Click the link. It's a product used to camouflage trucks, jeeps, boats, atvs etc. for hunting.

tatooing marpat on marines!!! thats insane! can anyone confirm this for me?

[Raistlin]

I don't get it, why does digitally created camouflage pattern has to be built from squares? A computer can create patterns from circles, stripes, donald ducks, whatever. I bet the pattern will be more effective with circles or just random shapres.

All those researchers who spent years studying and designing it mean nothing... you *bet* that random shapes are better so you must be right... :roll:

[Raistlin]

Hey, I like to play risky ;)

If the polygonal shapes like squares and swedish cammo polygons do indeed blend better with natural environment, then it's a very interesting revelation. About the nature itself and about our own vision perception.

Or maybe the squares (pixels) are used because of textile manufacturing technology limitations.
