Questions on modeling buildings

[toasty_ 10]

Hello, Im looking into making custom buildings for ArmA 3, and I just have a few questions I would like to ask

 

• What Programs Do I use?
• Do I make the object in Blender > Import in the Object builder etc. The same as I would do with a vehicle
• How do I make the doors Etc work. Is that just based off Configs?
• Does anyone know links to any good tutorials.

 

 

 

these are all my questions for now, I will refer back to you if I need more help. Thanks for the help in advanced.

 

Happy New Year

i cant seem to find the link to the old operation flashpoint modelling tutorials.They are basic but most of it is relevant.And yes you just use blender etc and then export to OB. Download the sample house from BIS and/or all the arma1 and 2 sample data.You can then open the models up and check them all out and get an idea whats happening.

 

found the tutorials hosted here http://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=ofp:modeling:brsseb_lesson8

1. whatever programs you feel like. I for one use a mix of 3ds max, SP2, quixel and PS

2. yes, the process is mostly the same. I for one only use O2 to set it up. I never model anything in O2

3. model.cfg yes.

4. samples should suffice. You actually only need to understand how to use multimats and ads, mc and mask files. Other than that should be pretty straight forward.
