#

well yes it does have an effect on it, as it seems like your model.cfg is not referring to your actual config.

#

lemme show you

#

http://prntscr.com/ob3nv5

#

thats from config

#

http://prntscr.com/ob3o24

#

and thats the top from the model.cfg

#

and your model.cfg refers to class Car

#

but your config to class PZD23_Welbike

#

just a wild guess, but if in bulldozer your wheels are turning all correctly i am wrong

polar fiber Jul 5, 2019, 5:33 PM

model.cfg uses the .p3d filename, not the cfgvehicles classname

Do you have any experience about 3D modeling @steel pine

steel pine Jul 5, 2019, 11:54 PM

#

not for me. Have experienced guy with 3D. Just not in A3

stuck oyster Jul 5, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

modeling for A3 is like modeling for any game so no special programs are needed for the model side

#

as long as the program can transfer weigthed selections

#

Blender, 3DSMax, etc all good for that

ah. Ok! THX!

#

My saga with the bouncing motorcycle continues. At least i've narrowed it down to being probably a config issue

#

I redid all of the wheels following the wiki and the example model. Same result just the bouncing is a bit more "symmetrical "

#

tried also widening the wheel base by moving the wheels further apart, but no effect there aswell

#

i'm wondering if it can be down to the mass taht i have set for the behicle since its very low

#

like 37kg or somewhere areound there

#

pn the other case if its a physX config issue where can it be, since the more i m looking at my config the less i can find XD

stuck oyster Jul 6, 2019, 4:37 PM

#

Have you adjusted the spring strength? What is the mass of the bike?

buoyant condor Jul 6, 2019, 4:38 PM

#

havent touched the sping strenght at all

#

the bike is 73kg

#

springStrength = 27250;

stuck oyster Jul 6, 2019, 4:56 PM

#

That is likely your issue

#

You don't always use realistic values like that weight

#

Arma physics are not that realistic

#

Would adding more proxies make a model more optimized?

stuck oyster Jul 8, 2019, 7:41 AM

#

No. Proxies add drawcalls and may be good to use only if you are using same proxies a lot in different models.

rough idol Jul 8, 2019, 8:26 AM

@stuck oyster beware of fps drop due to PhysX simulation

any help would be appreciated thanks

did you set the mass

high stag Jul 9, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

driveoncomponents is only for airplanes

#

doesnt apply to cars anymore

cinder pivot Jul 9, 2019, 6:23 AM

#

It is a plane, and yes it does have mass

#

Tried old driveoncomponent, new physx method

#

Same results

#

If I move it up a bit it drives perfectly fine on the ground

#

It just spawns in the ground

rough idol Jul 9, 2019, 7:17 AM

#

@high stag driveOnComponents is for all physX vehicles

#

tanks are using that for their belly & cars can use that if they have low clearance

cinder pivot Jul 9, 2019, 5:55 PM

#

so does that define where it should contact the ground on?

#

for this vehicle I have tried resetting mass
physx wheels
driveoncomponent wheels
physx lod with no wheels
physx lod with wheels
moving geometry
moving land contact

Nothing really seems to change the results and it always clips underground

How do I choose/change muzzle flash size? I've tried changing the proxy but don't understand how I'm supposed to know what the available options for muzzle flashes are

polar fiber Jul 10, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

You change the proxy yes, unless it's for a muzzle attachment, in which case it's defined in the config for that attachment

#

Or you can make your own

warm leaf Jul 10, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

That makes sense, thanks - so, part 2 of the question is: How do I see what proxies are available to use as Muzzle flashes? I haven't found any way to divinate them from the config viewer yet, and the sample weapon model only has one example

polar fiber Jul 10, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

They're mostly all in P:\a3\data_f\proxies\muzzle_flash (assuming you have unpacked the game data to P:) can just pick one you like the look of

warm leaf Jul 10, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

ahhh okay, sorry, I didn't really understand how proxies were actually stored in the game then

polar fiber Jul 10, 2019, 3:56 PM

#

so long as buldozer is set to show proxy objects you should be able to see how it looks

warm leaf Jul 10, 2019, 3:56 PM

@bold flare does that include objects above 100m from terrain?

bold flare Jul 10, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

uh..

#

yes

#

I guess?

foggy finch Jul 10, 2019, 6:37 PM

#

if your character is walking on anything and traverses above that height and leaves the surface it will go into freefall anim,. that change happened after the fix for being stuck in freefall on terrain surface quite some time ago.

#

so, no there is no way to fix it without BI doing things engine side as it happened when they implemented the on ground freefall fix

summer bronze Jul 10, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

hey um... BI, you uh... wanna change some engine... uh.... mechanics? 😃

#

Maybe like above 100m, have to fall at certain velocity or a certain distance before going into free fall 😃

wut

worldly belfry Jul 10, 2019, 7:21 PM

#

he’s trying to make a spaceship

#

the engine has a hard coded freefall height of 100m

summer bronze Jul 10, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

like whenever we are on an object that is above 100m of the terrain and try to step onto another object, it throws us into free fall animation. I’ve been trying to find a way to make it so when going from one object to another that is over 100m in the sky, it doesnt throw me into the free fall animation. From what I’ve heard so far, this is not possible due to engine? I’d like to make objects up in the sky like for example a space station or crazy things like that that wont throw me into free fall when i go between objects

#

also would like it so that if jumping down from object above 100m height it doesnt throw us into free fall animation.

worldly belfry Jul 10, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

this topic is probably more #arma3_scripting , you aren’t going to be able to work around it very well just through model edits

summer bronze Jul 10, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

I don’t know that much about how engine works but wouldnt this benefit from more “if then” statements?

#

Thought it would have to do with objects at first

worldly belfry Jul 10, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

I don’t think there are any EH’s for the freefall behavior, I would just make your spaceship and have it under the 100m height. You could use a teleported to navigate around without actually being 100+m in the sky

woeful viper Jul 10, 2019, 8:18 PM

Question about the UH-60 in the RHS NATO stuff...

I noticed that the landing spotlight on the nose is pointed down at like a 60` angle

#

well, you can't actually see the light on the ground at any point in landing from the cockpit. IRL you can thumb hat that thing around. I think the model just has it pointed poorly.

#

Is there a client side adjustment that I could make to the model?

that isn't the only helo that is weird

A super cool mod would be adding aimable spotlights to vehicles, assuming that doesn't exist

basically, stuff like the Little Bird that has an aimable turret, link the searchlight to the same and then pilots could slew the light around where they want. But I'm dreaming again.

So... you could look at what the config for that helo is... then you could produce a mod with just a config.bin that requires the addon that has the helo you want to do that for...

For some reason, setObjectTexture does not work on the model, although I have configured everything:
3 lods minimum - resolution,roadway and geometry
Added texture. Created selection on the model and in the model.cfg marked it by all the rules, but in the game texture change does not work( getObjectTexture does not return an empty array, so selections are present on the model and everything should work). In the config hiddenSelections and hiddenSelectionsTextures are also added. What could be the problem?

if you add a reflector to a turret it gets the same thing

you can add a reflector light by config. you cant animate (move) the light by config. Unless the animations and mempoints already exist

no limit on reslod but it could behave funky (dissapear from view even though its should clearly be seen) possibly

Hello

So at one time, the us army was considering a almost 100 ton ifv

I forget the exact name

But I want to take that concept and turn it into a super heavy ifv and tank for NATO forces, in game lore it would be what america is using instead of the Israel vehicles that presumably the rest of nato uses

So I am having an issue where I can not get the windows on my building to break with anything less than a tank round. The other buildings i have modeled are fine. I think it has to do with how small I have modeled the windows.

#

Does anyone know if there is a rule regarding how many hitpoints there can be for a window and how large/small the fire geo for the window can be?

read Case A on top
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/LOD#Fire_Geometry
and here read Example2

#

solution: make your window firegeo thicker - 20-30mm, or use hitpointComponent for them in config (assuming that works for buildings)

#

sub 10mm is very bad - A3 system is not suited for this.

#

not sure if there is a hitpoint limit, but there is a bone limit, which is lower for buildings than for vehicles

#

if you have too many your window wont hide at all

hello gentlemen . I have a question. So im wanting to get a few structural models from 3dwarehouse however, my issue is that I cannot seem to find/hire anyone to assist with importing the model into arma. My only realistic chance to get some of the things I want , is by doing it myself. Is there any good helpful tutorial out there that I can watch ?

foggy finch Jul 18, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

I dont think there is anything that would qualifty as a good video guide for buildings that I have seen,. if you download the arma 3 samples on steam there is a test house there, where you can see how each LOD is setup and UV's for Multi-Material RVMAT's as well as all the config examples you'd require.

#

there's a bunch of 3D Suites that are either open-source or offer educational licences (strictly non-commercial - good enough for Arma licencing model) and there are countless video guides on creating game-ready assets if your willing to self-teach yourself 3D modelling.

junior saddle Jul 20, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

Hey ppl! I'm putting this here because it has to do with model animations, but it also seems to affect actual performance of helicopters. I noticed myhelicopter rotors were not tilting to the left as hard as they are tilting to the right

#

Taking off, it's the same for how it behaves. I can topple my heli over on its right side, but not on its left.

#

For gits and shiggles I looked at the Orca and Humming Bird to see if they are also doing this, and the result was YES. It's not quite as obvious on A3 helis, which is why I think it may have gone unnoticed all this time, but it is still happening.

#

I considered making the animation range bigger on the left side, but that would only change the aesthetics of it. The difference in R/L performance would still be present. And this is all using the Standard Flight Model.

you probably didn't component convex hull your geom box

using "just a box" is 50/50 chance that it goes convex

What's better for performance - a single p3d with some variations (e.g. camo scrim, foliage) hidden via hiddenSelections or a separate p3d for each variation? Thinking for helmets in particular, but generally applicable to weapons and uniforms too.

I suppose the question at its core is - does having parts of a model hidden via hiddenSelections add to the overall performance load of that model as opposed to loading a p3d without them?

bold flare Jul 23, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

the hidden part of the model, needs to be checked for "is part hidden" everytime

also hiding a section, means making a sections. And more sections in general are slower

Got a slight issue. I used a concrete decal on my terrain in large areas in place of a concrete surface (looked better). I then used a road LOD in order to give it a surface sound when walking on it as well as get rid of clutter. Only issue I am having is random surface sound changes when walking on the concrete. As if the model isn't quite big enough when connected with another decal, and the gap between is allowing the surface underneath to get through. The actual decal texture is plenty big, however. Any advice?

lusty ginkgo Jul 24, 2019, 12:39 AM

I wouldn't recommend having surface decals that have their own roadway LOD. It has always produced weird results for me as far as the sound and impact goes. The only thing I have been able to get to work is custom clutter cutter objects that are just roadway LOD's

the size should be well within the limits of roadway size. perhaps you should make it bigger than the actual decal.

Soundguy here,

I'm currently digging into blender and animations/static poses for ArmA, using HopeJohnson's rig as most likely every blender user.
The rig doesn't show any rifle, just a pistol in hand. Do I have to import a rifle as a reference myself or am I overlooking something?

woeful viper Jul 26, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

there should be a bone for the primary weapon - you import any rifle and make it child of that bone -> it should move witht it

runic quail Jul 26, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

@woeful viper Thanks for the swift answer!
And let me guess, just having the p3d at hand isn't enough and I have to ask our weapon guys to send me the models in another format?

#

Ohh wait... thanks A3Toolbox!

yeah. That or fbx export from OB (though thats less convenient)

@woeful viper The A3Toolbox adds a p3d option for importing but it doesn't work. So I'll go the other route - thanks!

Ahh because they are binarized, got it

woeful viper Jul 26, 2019, 9:24 PM

Remember that the bone is equal to the proxy triangle for the weapon in a character p3d. So if you import a weapon, don't use the model center, but the 0 coordinate position

so for some reason oxygen/object builder decided it doesnt want to move my steering wheel anymore. I also cant select it in the viewport, i have to select in by selections or CTRA-A. Did I somehow freeze the mesh?

Also doing CTRL+Shift+L to unlock doesnt seem to have any effect

Copying the mesh from one Object builder to another object builder session also appears to have no affect

Hi all, quick quesiton. I just made a house, I m using the arma 3 sample and the house show under structure / villa . how can I change that

I want it to show under "Structure (BOPE)" and subcategory "Favela"

is there a way to center a model in object builder? IE you have a proxy setup at the center of where you want the model to be

stuck oyster Jul 30, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

dont do it in OB

#

or well at least without preparation

#

if you create a large box thats center is where you want the center of the model to be and copy that into all lods you can use the centerAll tool thingy

#

as long as the box covers everything

#

and is in all lods

ahah there it is

its funny i was going through every menu before I asked, and now that you mention it it's immediately there

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 8:06 AM

#

You can create a vertex A, move it to the desired grid position with the vertex properties window. Then make vertex B at your model’s centre and snap B to A while the model is selected. You simply open the pin tool and hold right-click drag B to A

cool ty, now I need to work out why buldozer when using the arma3.exe instead of from the P drive means the textures dont render

arma3.exe is buldozer

bright echo Jul 30, 2019, 8:11 AM

yeah I mean that I was using P:\Buldozer.exe, and then mikeros p drive tools deleted it so I swapped to using my regular installs exe, I worked it out I had to change the texture path in object builders option to point to P:\ it was probably defaulting to the exe location

Anyone have an idea what may cause this issue

rough idol Jul 30, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

you cannot hide physx wheels

#

you can only change their damping params depending on damage

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

How are vehicles like the hemmt and hunter reacting like they have a blown tire then?

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

Animations that lift the dampers when the wheels are taking damage

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

is this handled in class Wheels in the config.cpp or in the model.cfg which has all the class wheel_1_2_destruct:wheel_1_1_destruct {source="HitLBWheel";selection="wheel_1_2_hide";};

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 5:35 PM

#

Sample car has them wheel_1_1_Damage wheel_1_1_Damper_Damage_BackAnim etc.

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:36 PM

#

            class wheel_1_2_Damper_Damage_BackAnim:wheel_1_1_Damper_Damage_BackAnim {source="HitLBWheel";selection="wheel_1_2_damper";};```

#

So looking at that i need more of an offset1 ?

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

Perhaps, or your selections are overlapping again and the anim is not working

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

possibly

#

Let me set this to something stupid and see what happens

rough idol Jul 30, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

@polar fiber dampers are no longer working

#

        wheelDestroyRadiusCoef = 0.58;
        wheelDamageThreshold = 0.025;
        wheelDamageRadiusCoef = 0.75;```

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

Oh good, because setting those up was an absolute bag of balls in A2

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

So those three commands are no longer being used above?

        wheelDamageThreshold = 0.025;
        wheelDamageRadiusCoef = 0.75;```

#

Or they are replacements for something else?

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

The physX commands above are replacing the damper backanims

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

My config currently just has wheelDamageThreshold = 1; wheelDestroyThreshold = 1; wheelDamageRadiusCoef = 1; wheelDestroyRadiusCoef = 1;

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

So those values should be a percentage of the tyre's size

late root Jul 30, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

Okay, altering values and testing now

#

Thank you for the help so far the past two days

#

Is there any documentation on the commands above? I cant find what each one is actually doing

#

same thing with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Cars_Config_Guidelines

#

They seem quite self-explanatory from the name I though?

late root Jul 30, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

My main thing im trying to figure out what is the difference between threshold and radius coef

polar fiber Jul 30, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

Threshold is the "percentage" of damage. 0 being undamaged, 1 being 100% damaged

#

Radius params would be a scale factor of the wheel's original radius

late root Jul 30, 2019, 6:09 PM

okay thank you again

polar fiber Jul 31, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

Probably aggregateReflectors coming in to play

#

Strictly speaking you should use aggregated reflectors as much as possible, because Arma has limits on the number of light sources in the scene and will cull extra ones

#

Having 2 sources for every lamp will make them get culled twice as often as the same object where the lights are aggregated

late root Jul 31, 2019, 12:03 PM

@rough idol I believe it has to due with the land contact points not animating high enough. I will get you the info when I'm back at my pc

it's actually working as intended

meaning it's switching to either damage or destroyed type depending on

wheelDestroyThreshold & hitpoint damage

thing is, that you are hiding wheel when damage reaches 0.01

as I mentioned before, model.cfg wheels hiding is completely disconnected to simulation

You don't... unless you have explicit permission from the GTA V IP owners 🤦

#

I mean, really?

#

Uh, we have a bit of history here where people steal other people's IP and ask for help doing so (and you have posted two messages in this discord and the first was your question)... Your question was not "I made some vehicles, for which I am the IP owner for GTAV and I want some help porting them to ARMA 3"... It was "Any vehicle devs in here that know how to convert from GTA V to Arma 3?" which raised suspicions... based on a long, long history of IP violations... So did you make the cars? Post pics of the models...

#

Ah... well, there is another mistake... the person who ports to ARMA3 cannot legally be paid... and you raise new flags... So you have some vics you want ported for a Life server don't you... 🤦

#

Funniest thing is that the top google search for "gtav ripped models" has a description of "Is their any over way to rip the models from GTA with out using ZModeler"

@manic arrow nope. @flat flare the magazine proxy has to be placed so that both magazines align properly. So their topside is at the same position.

Not sure if it belongs to model, texture or config (or even tools)... But I guess this is the best place to start ;)

I have a (working) .p3d but I need to change the texture path. I managed to do this with the Object Builder for all .paa and .rvmat files, and those SHOULD match the path of the addon (through $PBOPREFIX$).
When I try to build the addon with pboProject, it fails because it can't find the files during validation. However, at the next line, it does find the different files correctly to be included in the .pbo

$PBOPREFIX$: "x\mod_name\addons\addon_name"
path in p3d: "x\mod_name\addons\addon_name\path\to\file"
missing file: "\x\mod_name\addons\addon_name\path\to\file"

For some reason (could be correct though) pboProject (or binarize.exe) seems to add a double backward slash to the file paths, even though these extra slashes don't exist in the p3d.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or forgot a setting somewhere?

stuck oyster Aug 4, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

dont use pboPrefix

#

its obsolete method now

steel vector Aug 4, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

ok... so how do I make sure the paths are correct between multiple PBO's?
And how does that solve the issue with the missing files in the .p3d?

stuck oyster Aug 4, 2019, 10:15 PM

#

what do you mean paths are correct between mutliple pbos?

#

you got pbo with some\path\to\folder and thats what it will use?

#

and missing file error may be caused by the pboPrefix causing stuff with PboProject

#

because its not needed anymore

#

aslo why do you have x\ in the pboPrefix path

#

and why do you have so complex pathing to begin with?

steel vector Aug 4, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

my mod extends on several other mods, and to make it maintainable I use the same logic as CBA and ACE3

#

each extended mod has it's own addon (aka pbo)

stuck oyster Aug 4, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

well then you may need to ask someone from those mods. Their setups are probably all good for their development methods but they are complex and uncommon as far as I know

stuck oyster Aug 4, 2019, 10:48 PM

well looks like for some reason the paths are not read right. as the p3d path there seems to be different to what you have set up in the config and what the real path to it is

I dont think I can help you with this as your setup is so different from what Im used to. Sorry.

#

Id wager most ppl (europe) are sleeping

steel vector Aug 4, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

ok... I found the problem myself 😉

#

issue is the way that the path to the textures is set in the .rvmat

#

so instead of having a \ prefix (which is normally required in configs to indicate root of mod/mission/etc), it shouldn't be present in the texture path inside .rvmat

quick terrace Aug 5, 2019, 12:02 AM

#

\\x\?

#

ahh nvm....

#

i wasn't scrolled all the way down

steel vector Aug 5, 2019, 12:04 AM

#

if .rvmat contains texture = "\some\path\to\paa", the .p3d will transform the file path to \\some\path\to\paa
changing .rvmat to texture = "some\path\to\paa" will result in the correct paths

#

could be a bug in MakePbo, or simply an Arma feature 😉

I tried to replicate the model that uses BIS arma3 for ships, and debinizing the models with the ODOL website and this is the best I could get

bis uses a p3d with points to define the position and distance between each block (pos_hull1, pos_hull2, etc.) all aligned at the same height, but I can't find if there is any point to define in each block of the model, and try to correct it to the test and error would take a long time for each model ...

@gaunt cobalt can't speak for the BI Freedom, but the Nimitz is constructed around the same 0,0,0 coordinate in around 30 or so p3d. So each ship part is roughly 40x40 and spawns around the same coordinate. If you check the init function for the jdg_Carrier_spawner you see that those models are all constructed around that common point. This works most of the time, but not always. Somehow the large geo and road lod interact with the terrain and sometimes have 'cracks' in them. Usually moving the carrier a few meter works around this

not sure if this is right group to ask but I want to mass search/replace pathnames in 1000+ p3d models.

_texture = getTexture _FaceT;
_texIndex = _texture find targetstring;
if (_texIndex>0) then {
_faceT setTexture (_texture @ [0,_texIndex] + newstring);_found = true
};

thin wigeon Aug 8, 2019, 9:19 PM

I think the [0,_texindex] is returning all chars from pos 0 of _texture to the position of the found string and then appending newstring?

Ideally I'm looking for a RE or something that can do string substitution. Can anybody help?

How up-to-date are the sample models, compared to the models in-game? I'm especially wondering about wheeled vehicles and tracked vehicles. The vanilla game tanks are largely improved in the last few years, but it has been about a year since I did much with my own tanks (in terms of land movement). I'd be interested to know what the memory points, land contact, and geometry LODs look like, for example, on the Scorcher. I.E.: where are they placed and what shape are they in relation to the visible model.

hello
got a new pc running, and it has Windows 10

my Object Builder doesnt work properly, and 2017 some people had the same issue but i cant find any solution. someone did a Video and i got the same issue so i use that Video to show you

hope there is a solution since 2years, cause i dont model with other 3d software and atm im not willing to learn other (i model in OB since 15years since O2Light(Oxygen) )

What build of windows are you running? winver.exe in start will tell you.

@runic plover OB viewports must be set to use DX drawmode

@stuck oyster where is that to find "Viewports"

stuck oyster Aug 10, 2019, 8:16 PM

These setting for it to be default in the options

At the bottom of the list

Or its the blue yellow x in the toolbar

ah this, yes i used that but its only a bit better

@outer condor Thanks for the link. I almost missed it. IDK why, but things like this make me kind of nervous.

#

What's the model.cfg entry to make something animate if the weapon is loaded?

junior saddle Aug 10, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

some of the universal animations are automagical. At this point, it's just a matter of having the right name for your effect and assigning it to the required selection

#

Also, you probably have to define it in the config.cpp somewhere, depending on the effect or animation

#

@jaunty leaf

stuck oyster Aug 10, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

animationSourcse are listed in the modelcfg BIwiki page

thanks!

Okay. So I'm done with the tutorial for PMC. Is there one for using blender and porting models into the map I wanna work on? Or am I restricted to using only Arma3 assets?

stuck oyster Aug 11, 2019, 4:22 PM

#

what kind of models are you thinking of porting @sick chasm

sick chasm Aug 11, 2019, 4:27 PM

#

I want to make small decorations mostly. The biggest I'd prolly get is an industrial greenhouse

#

This is all for practice though, but I was wondering if it's possible to port models into arma3 before I start doing anything

stuck oyster Aug 11, 2019, 4:29 PM

#

porting usually means the models come from somewhere else.

#

which raisest the question are they from a legit source

#

if the models are not stolen from some other game then sure they can probably be fitted for Arma use. But it is not "plug and play" simple

#

there are some tutorials model stuff wise on youtube that can be useful but you can expect at least same amount of struggle than with the Terrain Tools or even more, depending how complex things you want to create

sick chasm Aug 11, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

Nah, no stolen stuff. I plan to build from scratch in blender. I just wanted to know if it was possible. I'll look around for some tutorials, thank you for your answer!

stuck oyster Aug 11, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

making of course is a totally different animal. Theres quite a bit of tutorial material about general modeling and how to use Blender

#

the Arma part of the whole workflow is just small part of it

#

There are model samples for A3 on steam with full configs and such

#

BI wiki offers some good pages about config basics

#

and El Tyranos and Sokolonkos tutorials should get you started with the Arma part

#

Also BI forums contain a lot of information

dark steeple Aug 11, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

Is there any 3d model maker inside the editor?

#

Can't seem to find it

bold flare Aug 11, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

no

dark steeple Aug 11, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

Oof

late root Aug 11, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

@dark steeple Most people use Blender, as it is free.
3ds Max/ Maya for more professional industry standard (but paid and bullshit expensive) or Zbrush (professional, not for a beginner).

#

I advise blender if your brand new to the scene. There is a ton of tutorials compared to the other software listed above

void surge Aug 12, 2019, 12:56 AM

Is it normal to have to recalculate normals in Object Builder/Model Viewer everytime in order to see the model correctly?

worldly belfry Aug 12, 2019, 2:27 AM

#

nope, what file type are you exporting/importing?

void surge Aug 12, 2019, 2:44 AM

#

Blender, Exporting to P3D and then Importing to Object Builder as the p3d, https://i.imgur.com/cLDRvma.png The model looks like this at first, then once recalculated it looks like this https://i.imgur.com/ToK2DJ9.png

stuck oyster Aug 12, 2019, 10:01 AM

#

your toolbox O2script path is not set correctly perhaps

#

by importing to OB you mean just opening the p3d?

#

@void surge

foggy finch Aug 12, 2019, 11:55 AM

#

@late root actually most of those bullshit expensive tools offer educational/academic licences for free, Autodesk, SideFX, Zbrush, etc all offer that, so saying they are bullshit expensive for someone wanting to learn who is in education is not true.

late root Aug 12, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

@foggy finch if your going to school and can gain access to them sure, but I assume most people dont have a edu email to get them

#

Or you know do what anyone else does and yarhar it :)

void surge Aug 12, 2019, 1:31 PM

#

Yes and how do i check my o2 script path ? @stuck oyster

stuck oyster Aug 12, 2019, 1:32 PM

#

in the Blender settings - Addons - Toolbox settings

#

BIforum thread has stuff about this too I recall

void surge Aug 12, 2019, 1:45 PM

I couldn't find the setting for the Arma toolbox addon and tried reinstalling and now i get this error

I dont even see that option, ill try reinstalling blender aswell

stuck oyster Aug 12, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

what version of toolbox you have?

woeful viper Aug 12, 2019, 3:37 PM

#

@foggy finch edu license is only for students - for university /learning stuff, not for modding. Technically...

#

though i dont think they have tried to sue people about this... unless they really did commercial stuff i guess?

foggy finch Aug 12, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

yeah it is specifically educational and non-commercial, so for modding arma it's a viable option.

woeful viper Aug 12, 2019, 3:40 PM

#

☝ educational is not the same as non-commercial - only educational is allowed from autodesk

#

educational = must be enlisted as student, must be noncommercial, and used only for educational purposes

quick terrace Aug 12, 2019, 4:36 PM

#

true, still they dropped the edu mail requirements

#

which was true long ago when i was in university

void surge Aug 12, 2019, 5:33 PM

#

Is there a setting/button that will show/hide textures in model viewer?

woeful viper Aug 12, 2019, 6:12 PM

#

in 2010 i actually bought a max student license... idk if i was just a dummy or it was actually only aquirably by money at that time

#

i think they just prefer people using this and producing traceable "student version" files rather than pirating the full version nowadays

stuck oyster Aug 12, 2019, 6:30 PM

#

Its not really off their pockets but likely increases sales when people trying it out get jobs and commercial licenses get aquired

#

also Blender is starting to gain more and more foothold even on the professional field and it being totally free is a big thing

polar fiber Aug 12, 2019, 6:32 PM

#

Their commercial licensing model is terrible for just about everybody short of those in full-time work at a large studio now though

#

At least for what you get in return for being subscribed

woeful viper Aug 12, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

yeah, the updates from version to version are not really mindblowing.

runic plover Aug 12, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

@void surge after open by import, for the recalculate you can put F5 in the model and it looks like how it has to be (from your old post with these 2 screens in the bulldozer)

hello, guys, object builder is not very smooth on 4k, have anyone faced that problem?

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 12:16 PM

#

4K monitor or 4K texture?

#

@modest beacon

#

OB viewport? buldozer?

#

what type of shader?

modest beacon Aug 13, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

4k monior resolution

#

i have 2070 super but gpu is not using 3d mode

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 12:17 PM

#

well it is not designed for such systems so there likely are issues

#

you can try using all viewports in DX mode

modest beacon Aug 13, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

yes dx is a bit better

#

i even seems like good fps but the moving have strange stutters

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 12:18 PM

#

OB has problems with win10 to begin with

#

and you have added hardware that its not designed for at all to the mix

#

Id wager there isnt anything that can be done about it

modest beacon Aug 13, 2019, 12:19 PM

#

ok, was just curious if anybody have that issues too

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 12:19 PM

Have not used it on 4k monitor so dont have 1st hand knowledge

dont recall anyone mentioning such problems either though

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 7:45 PM

Imported unfortunately quite too often means they are from some other game

#

and thus should not be used

marble wyvern Aug 13, 2019, 7:46 PM

even though i buy the actual model and import it my self is that not allowed?

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 7:46 PM

if the model you bought is from some game yes

marble wyvern Aug 13, 2019, 7:46 PM

i bought it from turbosquid so yeah

stuck oyster Aug 13, 2019, 7:47 PM

there are some legit models there too. but quite often stolen models are sold in cheap prices
