max power 21 Posted September 8, 2013 Forget about doing a landing ship for your first project and just do some simple models to get used to the tools first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom.tucka 75 Posted September 9, 2013 Could someone suggest something for me to create for a first go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted September 9, 2013 For your first model ever? A crate perhaps? And trust me, if it's your first model ever, depending on your artistic background, your crate will suck. It's better for your crate to suck tho than your Vehicle. Maybe a crate or some other simple piece of equipment that might be found on your boat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted September 9, 2013 Google for 3ds max modelling tuts, first off. You have a lot of ground to cover with the modelling and UVW tools. There are plenty of 3dsmax resources all over the internets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaney2 10 Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I am new to ARMA/VBS modeling. I would like to find some simple step by step tutorial of how to bring a simple object into the game. I would be happy to create s simple box with some texture into the game then use O2 to start to add different properties like weights lods and collisions. Textures are just as important as the models and what are some good tools to create textures. The resources I have is VBS2 and Maya. Do I need photoshop to create textures? I have been trying to use Oxygen to create some models and it is almost impossible to do anything productive. I have been able to create some objects with Maya then export those objects with some success to Oxygen. But going from Oxygen to a usable object in the game seems impossible. In the process, I seemed to ruined the Buldozer and I am unable to get it to work without and it gives me errors and crashes. I find the whole process frustrating because, I don't even know what form the objects need to be in and where they are put to have the game read them. I found some pbo packer but I didn't see objects in pbo formant but a .3d format and the textures were in a data file. As I can get objects into the game are there good resources for the many attributes that can be created with Oxygen?
