How to import a model into arma 3

[distortedseed 10]

I know this is more than likely posted somewhere but I couldn't find it. I am looking for a "current" tutorial on how to import models into arma 3

 

I use maya, and zbrush

 

Any help would be great, willing to pay for 1 on 1 help session.

What are you trying import? Also the fact you have mentioned payment makes me suspicious, thats not how this community works.

ok so far I have gotten a simple model in game, I now need to know how to get the textures onto the mesh, add collions, LODs, animations stuff like that...I offered money because obviously this is too complex since their are now complete tutorial videos and trying to find any type of good tutorial is either outdated or doesn't exist...(that ive seen) its like its the biggest secret of arma when in most other engines its extremely simple (UE4/Unity for example) but whatever...if you have some good advice please point me in the right direction.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to show the community how to make cars in-game. Didn't mean to make any intentions on how to rip from other games. Anyway if I can't talk about that hear sorry once again.

This is the issue, I myself have started to pick up and follow along on these tutorials but these are severely outdated.   I can get my object, in this case the cube in game and listed in the editor, but there is nothing there in the game, (using VR world if that makes any difference)  I have followed this to the letter, but is listed as an empty object.  Im not sure if the config needs work or if its completley wrong for this version of the game,  but the config is this; 

 

class cfgPatches {
	class Tutorial_cube{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {}; 
		requiredVersion = 0.1; 
		requiredAddons[] = {}; 
	};
};

class cfgVehicles {
	class Static;
	class Tutorial_cube : Static{
		scope = 2; 
		model = '\Tutorial_cube\Tutorial_cube.p3d';
		displayName = "red cube";
		vehicleClass = "small_items";
	};
};

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
