Redphoenix 1540 Posted August 28, 2013 To practise working with UV Editor, Oxygen and coding configs, I started adding the Remington 870MCS The model is a free one on turbosquid, made by commander566. I started the work about an hour ago, and this is how far I have come until now. It isn't in the right scale, neither position. Hand position and animations are still vanilla. But its looking good so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spectrersg 9 Posted August 28, 2013 Great work so far. Any chance well see it with a Knoxx stock, angled fore grip? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redphoenix 1540 Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah, I could model one. But I'm having trouble setting up the LODs, since I am a total noob in O2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad benson 1733 Posted August 28, 2013 you should download the arma 1 sample models from armaholic. those include basically working examples for weapons. you might have to change some stuff for arma 3 but the basic set up should be the same. and also check this out http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=20601 and this http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?139652-Tutorial-Creating-Custom-Weapon-Animations aaaand this http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?149341-Arma-3-weapons-config-guidelines good luck!

giorgygr 61 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I could model one. But I'm having trouble setting up the LODs, since I am a total noob in O2. As alternative..you can prepare each LOD in your *most familiar 3D creation program before you import the model into O2. I don't know..O2 as i experienced is a toy for masochists compared with other programs. Just focus in what you are doing so you 'll not get confused on what-goes-where.

Just focus in what you are doing so you 'll not get confused on what-goes-where. I had some kind of "theory lesson" about LODs yesterday, so thats not a problem anymore. I am focusing now on making a UV Map, but thats the next big problem..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redphoenix 1540 Posted August 30, 2013 After setting up all the LODs an Points in the Memory LOD, I fiddeled around for about an hour trying to get the proxies into the right positions... And now, it works! Still needs some tweaking, but it does look great. Later I'm going to model the front grip I can use. Shouldn't be hard. But I actually am having big trouble unwrapping the shotgun into a decent UV map. O2 UV Editor lets me down, so I'll try Blender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redphoenix 1540 Posted August 31, 2013 Used the whole day making animations. And always this happens. Arghhhhhh..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arghhhhhh.....http://abload.de/img/arma32013-08-3023-07-b6zyt.jpg I always get that if I do not binirize the addond correctly. If you have not tried that, it could work. There was no problem for me with the animation file. Just the addon needing to be binirized :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redphoenix 1540 Posted August 31, 2013 Okay thanks, gonna try it. But Binpbo won't work properly for me.... Gotta have to look for a workaround. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redphoenix 1540 Posted September 1, 2013 I made a small videos. Just to show How far I came. Thanks do Bad Benson, Mikero and Lord Jarhead for the perfect sounds! I have to check a critical error. And if I fixed them, I will release an Alpha. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
