Some help with gettting tanks into the game

[TheBOOMStick 0]

I've recently taken an interest in a few vehicles that i woud like to get working into arma. I have the models and the textures for them but thats where it ends.

 

I dont know where to start and most of the tutorial's I've looked at arent really structured verry well and dont explain a lot of stuff.

I use blender for a work environment btw.

 

My main question is setting up all the LODS, memory modules, points, etc.

What are they, how do they work, what determins them, how can i set them up in the best possable.

 

Thanks.
