Screech 1 Posted March 28, 2013 Hello ... I searched about two days to find some tutorials about importing new character/player models into arma 2, but no luck so far. I have some free 3D character Models(3ds and obj formats) i want to import into arma 2, but i dont find any howto's or tutorials. I hope somebody got some links for me or can post how to do the importing stuff step by step. I have O2 and 3DS Max installed. Thanks for reading Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted March 28, 2013 For where did you get your free 3d models? If there is reason to believe that you do not have permission from the original author, or obtained 3d models from a 3d ripping website, there will be a lot of explaining to do.

Screech 1 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) The Models come from REMOVED And as long i dont sale/resale or making profit of it the models are free to use! Phony license removed. Edited March 28, 2013 by Max Power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) No they aren't. That's a ripping site. They have ripped models from games and other places on there. For instance, if they have Assassin's Creed models on there, those models are owned by Ubisoft. Copyright includes your right to control distribution and derivative works, so when the site says you are free to download and use them, they are violating Ubisoft's copyright. If you were to then use them, you would also be violating Ubisoft's copyright. Thanks for being forthright about where you got the models from. A lot of trouble for everyone was saved :) Edited March 28, 2013 by Max Power Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Screech 1 Posted March 28, 2013 Ah, ok, thx for that^^ So i look for other, legal sources like TurboSquid(i hope its a legal Site^^)! but back to my question^^ Is there a howto or something like that how to import new characters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted March 28, 2013 Turbosquid is legal. there are legal sources for 3d models that are free, like (formerly) google 3d warehouse. Just be sure to make sure to read the terms of use. They are fairly liberal, but it's good to know what restrictions there are. If you need help interpreting what it's saying, I can help you :) If you do use models from external sources, we would really appreciate it if you gave the original artists the credit by declaring the source of your stuff. So many people claim it's their own work and then get banned for that :/ There are examples and threads about character making and rigging but I don't know if there is a tutorial from beginning to end.
