doc_newstead Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I think Hyperstealth should lay off the Saturation and Hue sliders on Photoshop Link to post Share on other sites
Kipper Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I think Hyperstealth should lay off the Saturation and Hue sliders on Photoshop <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Either that or throw random forest colourd paints at a wall.. hey presto its DPM.. although i am a fan of DPM.. it works Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 can you give me a link to where you can order some in the uk? HYPERSTEALTH pre-order page. There's also some talk of US Cavalry maybe stocking the stuff at some point in the future... Link to post Share on other sites
xRAZERx Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 The name HyperSTEALTH to me means that it's going to be some kind of really advanced uber cammo.... This doesn't fit up to my ideal Link to post Share on other sites
JCYC5 Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 A name like Hyperstealth makes me NOT want to buy it. If the product is good, then people will buy it regardless of name or price. HYPERSTEALTH makes it sound like something the night market would sell for $20. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Does it make it sound like the people who invented CADPAT, MARPAT and KA2 pattern? It should do... Link to post Share on other sites

Agent Hunk Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 www.cheaperthandirt.com has a similiar pattern. I think its called tacitcal camo or something to that extent. Here Shirt- BDU-18 Pants- BDU-19 Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 www.cheaperthandirt.com has a similiar pattern. I think its called tacitcal camo or something to that extent. That's the "unofficial" MARPAT urban variation. Not similar at all really - MARPAT is based on a repeating pattern of irregular rectangles and the urban variation uses about 3 shades of grey. SpecAm UT utilises a combination of large and small pixilated leafy specks and about 5 different colours. Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Latest news from Hyperstealth - HyperStealth Breaking News: Phase one, Analog to Digital Camouflage Conversion Project complete – 150 world camouflage patterns now pixalated and protected (October 26, 2005, Vancouver, B.C.) HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp., President and CEO, Guy Cramer, a leading camouflage designer and Lt. Col. Timothy R. O’Neill, Ph.D. (U.S. Army, Ret.) considered the world’s top camouflage expert, announced they had successfully converted over 150 traditional (analog) camouflage patterns into 1st and 2nd generation digital camouflage with the pixalated look of MARPAT/CADPAT/ARPAT. These patterns such as British DPM, U.S. Woodland, German Flectarn… were among those patterns converted, other patterns included just about every NATO country, Russian and east European camouflage, Australian, South East Asia, the Middle East, Africa… They also converted camouflage from the 1930’s-Present, including a number of commercial hunting patterns, experimental patterns, five different generic forms of Tiger Stripe, Multicam and even improved on the existing CADPAT/MARPAT/ARPAT digital patterns providing a more effective macro element (Larger disruption regions). The ADC2 (Analog to Digital Camouflage Conversion) project began in late 2004 and originally was planned to last a few years, but rapid algorithm advances accelerated the Phase 1 completion date to October 2005. Guy Cramer and Timothy R. O’Neill have agreed to license a number of these patterns to HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. to begin marketing the patterns to different countries and commercial markets. In 2003 Guy Cramer designed the KA2 digital camouflage patterns for the country of Jordan. Lt. Col. O’Neill was the first to design and use digital patterns with the U.S. Army in the late 1970’s; his work is referenced as the base research for the earliest digital troop camouflage CADPAT (Canadian Disruptive Pattern) and MARPAT (U.S. Marines Pattern). Cramer and O’Neill’s combined efforts have recently shown up in both the Military and the commercial markets with the SpecAm (Special Operations) digital camouflage pattern. Cramer had proposed in late 2003 to the British Ministry of Defence: Infantry Trials Development Unit (ITDU) to improve British DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material) by converting it to a digital pattern. The ITDU initially requested more information but was told by the British Ministry of Defense in early 2004 that they could not work with Cramer on development as he wasn’t a British Citizen, even though he is a Canadian citizen, Canada is part of the commonwealth of the United Kingdom! The rejection from the British Government occurred before Cramer had supplied any digitized DPM patterns. Using Cramer’s Digital DPM unfinished work as a template. The Cramer/O’Neill team began using proprietary camouflage design programs and algorithms in 2004 to embark on digitizing as many camouflage patterns as they could find to copyright the improvements and to stop others from making critical mistakes they had seen developing. Most 'digital' measures now available suffer from a lack of understanding of the purpose of digitizing (which should be properly called 'visual texture match') and are hence merely look-alikes of early designs whose improvement in camouflage is dubious. The Canadian Government doesn’t view camouflage patterns as a restricted export item and has approved HyperStealth (a Canadian corporation) to license the 2nd generation technology to all but a few sanctioned countries. While these 150 patterns – converted into 300 digital sets may sound like allot, the team has already designed and copyrighted over 1000 original digital patterns from 1st-4th generation over the past two years. HyperStealth Biotechnology Corp. is now in negotiations with two large companies to manufacture and sell some of these 2nd generation digital patterns to both military and commercial markets. That seems like a pretty schitty attitutude on the part of the MOD to me. What about the JSF or the SA80A2? Those didn't come from British citizens either. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Are there swatches of all these conversions? I know I've seen the DPM (or the DPM look-a-like), but I'd love to see the others. Link to post Share on other sites

Maple-Leaf Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Here: http://www.hyperstealth.com/specam/hcd-woodland/index.html That's not actually the digitised DPM pattern though Doc - this one was designed to replace the DPM uniforms worn by a certain South-East Asian country (I know which one, but I can't tell you). Like you guys, I'd love to see some swatches too. At the moment though, it seems that most countries going forward with digital designs are not the core members of NATO. And Guy is covering his backside by copyrighting digitised versions of their patterns before anybody else does. By the way Doc - if you want to see a green beret on top of the HCD Woodland, just wait til I get my evaluation set. Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Latest release from Hyperstealth: "SpecAm Desert Jackal" "Woodland" is coming in a few weeks - and the plan is to make enough so you'll be able to buy straight off the shelf, rather than having to go through pre-order waiting period.
