New to O2. Some questions.

[Arcani 1]

I know how to model in Maya, and how to make textures, rig and animate.

However, I don't know how to use O2, primarily because I don't know where to download it from, additionally, are there any manuals or help tools?

Where can I find the models from the Arma 3 Alpha? I've looked through the folders for the models, but can't find them, are they in the .pbo files? And how do I unpack them?

Thanks

(The BIKI is your bible, use it)

2. This forum is filled with thousands of articles. ALL threads from OFP, ArmA, ArmA2 are relevant for ArmA 3, as are all tutorials and guides. Little has changed besides some of the config files.

3. You can't, the only sample models available from BIS are for ArmA 1, but again, they are perfectly relevant:

4. You can unpack pbo files with a variety of tools (Eliteness is a good one to start with), but most if not all will be encrypted so that you can't open the model itself.
