I want this so badly, I day dream about making it myself lol - I have attempted kit bashing to get what I'm looking for with no luck.

Sixus1 may have something in another store that would be close to what you want.

Shoot me a PM with link... I'm having no luck locating it.

How about this: http://www.daz3d.com/soldier-for-genesis-2-male-s

And a render, without the gas mask.  And another with the included Balaclava and rifle plus the helmet from the Desert Soldier outfit for M3 (available here at DAZ as well) and a random tank top for the sleeveless look in one of your examples.  Don't know where to get the hat/goggles though.

EDIT: found some freebie goggles here: http://www.sharecg.com/v/60608/browse/5/3D-Model/Genesis-Goggles-Type-3, used a basic cap from somewhere in my runtime and plopped the goggles on top and got the third render. 

Good luck!

Sorry to be a negative nancy, but I  haven't found an outfits  for genesis that I've really liked. Many can't handle the grenades, belts, or straps without distorition. and frankly Yura's  textures don't look good to me. There is a lot of artificial  creases and their belts frequently distort or look odd.

Best outfit, and it isn't in this Vein is War dog for Genesis 3 (males). At leat the grenades and the belts do not distort and there are adjustments.  

But the soldier outftis really could use some love. 

I almost prefer the ones for M4 in many ways. At least there is some variety and not the degree of distortion you see on genesis models.

IMO - the Soldier outfits from Yura aren't that good or accurate. Your (grinch2901) renders demo the warping and lack of detail, the textures of the cloth parts aren't realistic.

Frankly, I don't see much in the way of good military clothing, be it the textures or the modeling. 

Turbo Squid has an insanely expensive version though (I say IE because I'm wanting to pay Daz prices).

I found this which the closest item to what I'm after. I would love to see an update to this product. http://www.daz3d.com/catalog/product/view/id/27328

DarkEdgeDesign may just have something similar in mind, if not in production; he recently released a set for Genesis 3 Female called SpartechOps.

SpartechOps is an awesome set I hope to pick up some day. It's not in the same ball park as a realistic set of military/operator clothing though.

Turbosquid sells pirated stuff from games and many of the models aren't that great so I avoid all but the freebies most of the time. It really isn't that great of a resource although it is cited often as a place to shop a to justify high prices here it really isn't a valid comparison. 

I render plenty of soldiers and sadly this in an area that is increasingly lacking realism.  Weaponry is looking better all the time but clothing is really tough to capture the realistic look of body armor and cloth and stiff plates and straps of gear

Xenomorphine

SpartechOps isn't really of the quality needed for replicating the above images, either. It's like a skin-tight spandex suit with over-complicated gear-type pieces which look glued onto it.

You might, however, be able to use these:

Thanks for all of the replies. 

I have begun modeling and am using this as my current project. I'm pretty excited. Just finished my first (a hoodie)!

good to hear, look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I too echo the need for realistic military gear and outfits. I already posted to DarkEdgeDesign about the need and expectations and supposdely it's on the list, guess we'll see.

I use a ton of assets from the games I own in DS, but it's frustrating to have to pose them in Max and then bring them into DS since DS has no useable FBX import function. A more reliable and current FBX plugin or a easier way to rig original meshes in DS is highly overdue IMO.

One thing I would like to see in the store is a military character model done in game format, meaning less parts to load on a figure or just create an original figure. This would save on resources since in most cases you will want more than a few in the scene, but still look great close up..I have tried instancing, but then you lose the posing ability or changing loadouts, etc.
