Aloha Gang,
As mentioned in the "TG Sponsor Welcome Post" http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=136147 , I'll be helping with TUSX HUNTER Apparel. TUSX is currently based in the South Pacific. If the interest expands, I may be assisting Tony in creating a North Pacific Chapter, which will include the States.
At this stage, TUSX is only showcasing their "OmniVeil" pattern, the official pattern of TUSX HUNTER apparel. Currently, we're working with suppliers and manufacturers on the apparel and will make updates when they come to hand. Due to unforeseen circumstances with the factories in the past, we will not be giving a confirmed release date. If things go as planned, our products will be available in the first half of 2014.
Tony has spent years in the development of both his apparel line as well as his camouflage pattern. Although hesitant at first, he did agree to share the evolution of OmniVeil with anyone interested in the journey.
We do understand that while a well designed camouflage may not be a substitute for proper hunting/stalking technique, it may give you an edge…

One of the many magnificent places Tony has traveled to by foot, all the while testing his TUSX HUNTER Apparel Line.

Now on to the camouflage… ;)
-
In it's infant stages, "Omni Veil" began as a mimetic pattern then moved on to an abstract design. With the creation of well over 60 versions, we experimented with concepts such as camouflage/near vicinity blending, outline/distant boundary disruption, counter shading, isoluminance, coincident disruption and micro/macro pattern concepts just to name a few. With those 60 graphic designs well over 20 costumes were eventually constructed. Each prototype was field tested, photographed and brought back for revisions. The tedious process led to the final development of RTM or Random Tonal Microstructure which are the key elements which comprise the OmniVeil pattern we have today. For 2014, OmniVeil will be the official pattern of TUSX HUNTER Apparel.
Here's a diagram of the last 21 designs that led to the final pattern.

Very interesting. I wish you much success
-
Nice. Any preorders?
-
Mountain gear that looks like it will blend well in the SE spring turkey woods? Did you boys have me in mind when you made this stuff up? :campfire:
-
Looks a lot like one of the Predator patterns, "Evolution"-- not sure they make it any more?
-
Nice I much prefer patterns like that over the usual stuff marketed by a couple other prominent companies that will remain nameless
-
LOVE the patterns! Can't wait to order a set. Great job.
-
Sweet you guys sell any coveralls?
-
Thank you for the kind words Gang.
Sorry, we won't be taking any pre-orders. We want to ensure that we have product in hand before accepting any orders.
At this point in time we don't have coveralls.
-
These were other "concept patterns" that were created during the design phase. Although these patterns have merit, we believe, based on our experience with camouflage design that these patterns may not be suitable for OUR intended applications. Thus we didn't pursue further development…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/tusx4.jpg)
-
I like every single one.
-
Depicted below is one of the final prototype OmniVeil patterns. A few more "tweaks" and it should be ready for 2014. Now to "travel back in time"...

Thanks for the kind word Keith! Tony has poured his heart and soul into this "Project" of his...
-
As you know brother, I luv it! :shaka:
-
Looking forward to this "project" release.
-
Thanks for the support guys!!! Really appreciate it!!!
-
It is looking good and cant wait to see the products!!!
-
So do you guys have a target release date?
I am liking the pattern in the spotting scope pics.
-
Richard,
Due to unfortunate circumstances in the past with previous factories, we can't confirm a release date. We don't want to over promise anything at this point regarding the apparel. With that being said, we're hoping to launch in the first half of 2014.
We hope you can understand.
Thank you!
Ryan
-
Cool no worries, I'll be watching
Thanks
-
Sounds like a plan right here in Oz that is unfolding...
Very nice!
Best of luck guys.
ak.
-
Thanks Richard! As soon as we're certain about our apparel, we'll be sure to posts updates.
Yes Al! TUSX is based in your "backyard"! ;)
-
Great looking stuff! :thumbsup:
-
Thank you Darren!
-
At this stage in development, we were certain that our first pattern would be created from an abstract design. Each of these patterns that are displayed went through a step by step process. First, our own techniques were used on multiple designer computer programs to create a pattern. Next, patterns were printed and prototype garment was sewn for visual "field observations". With the added support of HD imagery in natural ambient lighting conditions, camouflage color pallet, spatial frequency and contrast were a few of the many concepts the were observed and altered throughout the design and development process.

I will place an order when available .I promised myself ill go back to Hawaii one day. Which Island do you live on?
-
in the prototype picture the first three from the left appear to be most effective to my eye.
Darn nice pattern.
-
Nice! I too like the ones with the hard lines defining the sections. Sorry for not reading more on this but what material is used?
-
That's a good looking pattern.... keep us posted when it becomes available - what materials/fabric will these be offered in?
-
Will the pattern be avaible by the yard/bolt or only as a garment?
-
Mike, I'm on Oahu.
Thanks Pat. If you're referring to the clothesline pic, yes that will be the pattern that's going into production.
Ryan/Dave we'll be posting info about the features and materials shortly. Thank you!
Don, at the moment, we created the apparel just for our TUSX apparel.
Thanks Gang!
-
Software development was the first step to every pattern created. Countless hours were spent behind designer programs and during this process we were forced to develop our own techniques for camouflage construction.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/tusx8.jpg)
-
any test pics of the camo out in field in various terrain and lighting shot in black/white media and color both for comparisons?
-
Brock,
Here is a desaturated image of one of our "in the field" pictures to demonstrate it's effectiveness when displayed in this format. We did not test for the effectiveness of our camouflage in a colorless environment during the development phase. Although many species of animals we hunt have dichromatic vision (limited sensitivity to color), some "warning species" such as birds have enhanced color vision over humans. Many bird species have tetrachromatic vision, their eyes contain a fourth cone (humans have three) that enable them to see light into the ultraviolet spectrum. This may also be another reason to not wash your clothing in detergents that contain UV brighteners.
The Grey Lourie (Grey Go Away Bird) of South Africa, the Kea of New Zealands Southern Alps and the Emu of the Australian outback are all examples of non target species that can see color and can ruin a stalk on a game animal by a hunter through either a warning call, or rapidly fleeing themselves.
For this reason, we have aimed from the beginning to create a camouflage pattern to enable total concealment. Otherwise, we could easily have simplified the development process and made this pattern comprising merely from shades of grey.
We have often felt that displaying camouflage in a desaturated image is not a true representation of its "in the field" effectiveness, thus we have not been doing this so far. However we would be more than happy to oblige if this what our TradGang friends would like to see.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/tusxintro.jpg)
Thank You!
-
If you are asking if we want the camo displayed in 50 shades of grey, the answer is no.
-
In order to best gauge environmental effectiveness, we printed every prototype camouflage patten onto fabric and constructed basic upper body garments to test in the field. We relied heavily on field observations to develop an appropriate camouflage color pallet, spatial frequency and contrast.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/tusx12.jpg)
-
thanks for response....nice
-
You're welcome and thank you Brock! :thumbsup:
-
A common technique when creating a dual camouflage pattern is to overlay a texture/blending micro pattern over a boundary disrupting macro pattern. Our method however, involved a totally different technique…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/tusx14.jpg)
-
Ryan,
Pretty neat so far. Interesting camo, seems to blend the best attributes of predator, digital and mountain mimicry all into one. Best of luck and looking forward to more info.
Vince

Vince!
Hey man, it's been a while since we've been in touch! Great to hear from you!
Aloha!
Ryan
:shaka:
-
Looks great.
I use everything from solid earth tones, plaid and have 6 different sets of camo clothing for bowhunting. However a lot of times I won't select just for the camo pattern, but more so the type of material for the environment/temperature.
Some nice patterns put me off by having very shiny materials or don't cater for vey hot and very cold climates.
Hope the collection has some nice warm fleece type material for the cold Victorian winters in Australia. And some materials that cater for hot days that aren't to shiny.
Hope it goes well and look forward to seeing it.
-
can't wait to hear about the clothing features.
camo pattern is secondary to the function of the garment for me. if it does what i want it to do i would, and have bought clothes in plain solid colours. though that pattern will be great for all environments i hunt.
-
Thanks Craig. Here's a reply from Tony,
Thank you for your comments. We feel that our apparel styles will be appreciate by the dedicated hunter. Our cooler weather gear has been extensively field tested within the Victorian High Country. We will be producing styles for warm weather hunting also.
All apparel has been constructed utilising technical outerwear fabrics, surfaces will be dull.
We hope to be making announcements about our apparel styles within the coming weeks.
We totally agree Clint. Camo is "secondary" for us too! ;)
-
If I get one, will it fit me like it does your manikin in the pix ? :dunno:
ChuckC
-
Which mannequin Chuck? I don't think we have any images with a mannequin.
Are you looking for a sizing chart?
Thank you!
Ryan

i know. ;) :) looking forward to more.
this much effort into what is considered 'secondary'. these are going to be good!
-
As a starting point for our abstract design, we created three test patterns. OV-2, 9 & 12 were developed solely to determine scale and spatial frequency. By adding pure white to these designs we pushed the contrast to a high degree with the idea to work back to more suitabe levels. These pattens also featured disruption lines, a feature we were to keep throughout the entire development process.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OV-2-9-12.jpg)
-
I really like how when you look at it and try not to focus on it that it disappears!
-
Ryan,
Everything you get involved with seems to have a high degree of quality. Thanks for all you share on this site and for taking us along on so many rides! This is a Trad Gang exclusive...
The disruption line feature is super sneaky. When this all comes together and garments are ready for market just let us know. Camo is kinda like bows and knives.
Best of luck!
-
I like it and the look at the development process.
It also looks like it would not just be open terrain camo, but blend in well with most trees.

I hope that I can buy it with more belly room than these pics show!
My waist isn't that narrow!
:shaka:
-
Thank you Ryan, "coincidence disruption" was one of the concepts that we were after. These were the very first abstract designs and stuck with the "coincidence disruption" concept throughout the entire design process.
Keith, I really appreciate the kind words. I've been fortunate that companies like these have allowed me to help in some way…
Thank you Will, yes OmniVeil was designed as a mutli-terrain pattern. We're in hopes that it'll "give an edge" to the "moving"/"stalking" hunter as the surrounding terrain may vary within stalking distance.
Hermon, for this year, sizes will range from SM-XXL.
-
Looks like I'll be spending more money!!
-
We need to have a chat Ryan!
-
Awesome pattern !
Really like the blac and White Photo.
Looking forward to trying it out !
-
Thanks J!
We'll try to get a few more desaturated images of the pattern in the field.
-
Building off our initial abstract patterns, we developed two follow up designs; OV20-3 and 4. We adjusted the color palette and added texture to the original vector disruption lines. Although these patterns showed promise during development behind a computer monitor, we were very unimpressed by their in field performance. They lacked certain key principles we were hoping to acheive. As such, we were compelled to return back to our design studio and develop another version…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OV20-3.jpg)
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OV20-4.jpg)
-
If you were to elevate the model in the picture or lower the camera to capture bits and pieces of the sky coming through the leaves and trees then the pattern would blend even more. Being a northern whitetailer I can't help but see the patterns tree stand potential!
-
Totally agree Ryan!
Our first pattern was designed for the "stalking hunter" but if TUSX is received well, we may have to look into designing a future abstract pattern for the "elevated hunter".
Only time will tell... :)
That being said, it'll be interesting to see how well our current OmniVeil pattern will fair in a tree stand situation.
-
Oh I think the current pattern would do just fine for "elevated hunters". It is broken up and contrasting enough to make any object not seem as though it is a solid.
Enjoying this process reveal BTW....thanks for taking us along!
-
I'm thinking I may want to send you up a tree with the OmniVeil pattern! Possibly give me some personal feedback? We haven't done much testing yet in terms of having a high percentage of the backdrop being the sky and clouds.
This years apparel won't feature concepts that are built for tree stand application, but I'm sure you could make it work for certain hunts.
Thoughts???
-
I've found that the thing about stand hunting vs. ground hunting is that it's tough to get a versatile pattern that's good for both. The heavy contrast of light and darks that work while in the tree stand out a bit too much when on the ground.
I suppose that's the difference in the last photo vs. the final selection of OmniVeil...a slightly muted version of the high contrasts so there is still separation in color but a more natural one. I'm liking the overall large pattern vs. some of todays "blob" style camos.
As far as the current pattern you have, I think it would be great for stand hunting. Here in Manitoba we hunt 3 or 4 months with leaves on the trees making your pattern quite versatile. For November here with snow and no leaves it takes a very specific camo to blend in. Wierd how that happens in a place that goes from +30 to -40 in a couple months???
Keep it coming Ry!!
-
Very nice! I love the looks of that Ryan. Looking forward to seeing this project develop and become available here. I'll get on the email list to keep up to date on it.

I'll be sure to keep you posted Ryan! :thumbsup:

We also dabbled with countershading. It is the process in reversing the natural expression of falling light. It can be considered one of the most basic camouflage adaptions seen throughout the natural world demonstrated by many species, both terrestrial and aquatic.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/Counter-shading.jpg)
-
This fallow buck and spiker exhibit classic countershading with their darker upper body gradually fading to white belly.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/Countershading_example-1.jpg)
These chital hinds demonstrate both countershading and texture blending adaptations in the form of tiny light colored spots.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/Countershading_example-2.jpg)
It's not only land based creatures that show traits of counter shading. Many aquatic species demonstrate this form of basic camouflage as can be seen in this example.

While testing the Tusx gear in the Northern territories of Australia, I had a few close encounters with different animals. one of these "encounters" really comes to mind when show casing the effectiveness of Tusx's Evade omniveil pattern.
I had stalked in on a small herd of Water Buffalo, with the usual wind in my face and the afternoon sun towards my back.
The stalk took me right in among the Buff, into some sparse sapling about 5 to 6 feet tall with some leafy growth on top.
I had one Buff feeding in front of me from left to right at 12 meters/13 yards I slowly ducked down trying to find a possible shooting lane for if the opportunity arose. As I discovered that a shooting lane was not apparent I decided to rise slowly and assess the situation from a standing position.
The closest Buff had walked more to my right and had spotted movement as I rose. I froze, the Buff still looked relaxed standing broadside with its head turned looking in my direction. Still rhythmically chewing the pick it had been feasting on This went on for maybe a minute then suddenly the chewing stopped.
At this point I thought the game was up, but the stand off continued still broadside and looking at me, I can remember thinking, if the Buff was really concerned it would face me more to get a better look.
So now in silence now I wait, with the Buffs eyes trying to pierce through me , searching for something but it didn't know what?
This "concerned standoff " lasted about a minute and a half then to my surprise the Buff started up its rhythmic chewing again then immediately its head went back into the grass to continue its feeding.
by the time it had fed into a better shooting position the angle was to hard a quartering shot feeding away from me and other younger Buff had filled the gap between us.
This was early on in the trip and as not to spook the small herd out of the area I opted to back out to hunt them another day.
This was one of my experiences in Tusx's Evade Omniveil pattern. I didn't end up with a Buff , but what a thrill.....
Obviously nothing beats "The wind in your face" but I feel the pattern did do its job superbly in this scenario.
Cheers
Mark.
-
For pattern OV-AT-20 we experimented with partial disruption line element "countershading". While we were to continue with this motif, this particular patten did not express the basic design goals we were hoping to achieve…

I'm in need of a good pattern for the AZ desert. Are you going to have a pattern for the desert? When will you be taking orders?
-
Kent, the images below will be the official pattern for 2014. If everything goes as planned, our apparel will be available in the first half of 2014. Thank you for your interest!

I can't wait Ryan will you guys have coveralls available?i am interested in other also just like coveralls
-
Thanks Jarrod!
Unfortunately, we don't have any coveralls in the line up for 2014.
Aloha!

-
Camo looks awesome! I haven't read the while thread. Is there a price point yet? Unfortunately most of the new camo is way above what I can afford.
-
Ryan,the camo looks great and would love to try it out here in Idaho for Elk.
can't wait until it comes out.
-
Matthew,
Once we have the final production in hand, then we'll be able to provide prices. We're hoping to launch during the first half of 2014.
Thanks Curt! We'll be sure to post more info about the apparel shortly. Hopefully the apparel itself will suit your needs in Idaho. We won't have a "full range" of gear for the first half of 2014, but if things go well, we're hoping to expand.
Thank you guys!
Ryan

Following on from our last pattern, we created another two designs with similar themes, OVAT-V2 & OVAT-V4-2. Again we experimented with element countershading, color palette and contrast. We also reduced the width of the disruption lines, however this rendered them ineffective from medium distances onwards. We felt that these patterns showed some promise, however we were dissatisfied with their overall performance…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OVAT-V4-2.jpg)

Just don't have those Wakiki prices. Camp socks $50 camp tee $150 lol!
-
LOL Mike! We won't be selling any TUSX apparel at the local ABC stores.
-
The macro pattern is not necessarily developed to offer concealment, but rather it is designed to deceive game animals into believing that what they are in fact looking at is not actually a threat. A single solid colored object can be readily recognizable, while a two toned object has the ability to create visual confusion. The contrasting borders between tonal groups can be perceived as natural boundaries. As such, game animals can be deceived into thinking they are looking at a clump of shapes, rather than a single solid mass.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/macro-patterncopy.jpg)
This simple example illustrates the working principle behind the macro pattern concept. In this demonstration we use basic geometric shapes comprising of circles, squares and rectangles. Note how the objects on left can be easily recognisable as a circle and rectangle. While the objects on the right create visual confusion, giving the illusion of many small squares rather than a whole object.
-
I don't think ANYONE has thought as in depth about camo as you guys.
Hats off for the massive amount of work you have undertaken.
Cheers
Mark.
-
The advantages of a macro pattern design become evident as distances recede…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/Isoluminancecopy.jpg)
-
We also experimented with additional green for pattern OVAT-V5-2 while continuing with the element countershading disruption lines theme…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OVAT-V5-2-1.jpg)
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OVAT-V5-2-2.jpg)
-
Continuing on with the development process, pattern OVAT-V5-3 was closely related to pattern OVAT-V5-2, however with different contrast & color palette. We did feel the disruption lines were once again becoming ineffective at medium to longer distances.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/ovatv53.jpg)
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/ovatv52.jpg)
-
Patterns OVAT-V5-5 & OVAT-V5-6 were developed in an attempt expand the pattern spatial frequency while also exaggerating the element countershading effect. Additionally, we thickened the disruption lines in an attempt to create better long distance effectiveness. However, we felt these patterns were a step backwards, we were unimpressed with their overall performance. At this point we abandoned element countershading altogether. Although we feel it does have merit, it proved ineffective during our tests. We needed to try another approach, but at this stage we were out of ideas. We began to search for insight…
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OVAT-V5-5.jpg)

I really think you guys should start paying attention to details!! (kidding)
Lovin' the process!

Hey Ryan,
This is great, you guys are masters. Are you looking to distribute in Africa?
Thanks

Hi Pete,
Thank you for the kind words, we're just passionate about what we do.
We currently don't have distribution in Africa, but will have international online sales.
Thank you!

After almost a year of working on our various abstract patterns, we felt our overall designs were not quite effective enough. We felt we were close to achieving our goal with some patterns but something was always lacking. We created a new pattern based on our prior testing, it showed promise during workstation development. On this occasion we did not use continuos disruption lines, but rather, scaled down alternate toned predator stripes. Our inspiration coming from one of the worlds most lethal predators, the Asiatic Jungle Tiger. It's high contrast macro pattern stripes offers a boundary concealment advantage. Once we viewed the first field test pictures, we felt this pattern showed real promise.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/ryan/OV-AT-V6-1-1.jpg)
-
This is a very good pattern. you can really see its effectiveness over the other designs.
Cheers
Mark.
-
Thanks Mark!
Here is Pattern V6-1 photographed with varying backgrounds. Although we were satisfied with this patterns overall performance, we crated another two versions for experimentation.

Ghee Ryan, that is superb! I would love to see that out here in Africa! I'm sure that will do well, as loads of those pics match the "veld". Watching this with anticipation!
-
Ryan
The evolution of your camo product and thought processes are very interesting. I'm very excited but I really hope this much detail goes into the material choice. I find to many of the camo companies leave us close range hunters wanting something quieter. I'm hoping this won't disappoint.
Anticipation!
Abe
-
Thank you Peter! I sent you a PM!
Thanks Abe!
TUSX is an apparel company first and foremost. Tony just wanted to design and develop his own pattern for TUSX.
I totally understand your concern with quiet materials as both Tony only hunt with bows. If the factories can produce what we have given to them in terms of product sample, then we should have a product that will be applicable.
I wish we had more control over the factories. We've already moved production from one factory because they weren't able to deliver. Hopefully the second factory can produce the quality (printing,materials,construction,etc.) that we're after.
Thank you guys!
Ryan
-
Like this last one. If u put that much into camo, should be a very nice lineup!
-
Thank you Will!
All future development was based off pattern V6-2. Here it is demonstrated in forest terrain. We feel its overall performance was the best of all the patterns we had created to date.
For those who are wondering why all the pants are "blacked out", during the design and development phase, we wore many other camouflage patterns in a side by side comparison to use for our own interpretation.

These final patterns were designed to “isoluminate” into a two toned (dim & pale) pattern as distance increases. This is how we achieved our Macro Pattern. This diagrams represent "Boundary Disruption", at "extended range" while in "open terrain".

Not only did we want to "break up" at extended distances and in varying terrain, but we also wanted to achieve "near vicinity blending". Getting close, undetected is also very important to us. We felt that we could achieve this through the use of our RTM or Random Tonal Microstructure.

Our OmniVeil pattern was never developed as a specific open grassland pattern, but rather a multi terrain camouflage. As such it is incapable to blend you into every conceivable environmental setting. To counter this, we have developed OmniVeil to fall back into macro pattern boundary disruption. So although it can not blend you into a grassland setting, it has the ability to create visual confusion according to the macro pattern principle by disguising your hunan outline as is demonstrated by these test images.
