Cylinders and spheres

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm very new to modelling in O2 and my first project, to learn, is to make a table with a PRC-25 on it and a lamp. If I get cocky I'll do some wiring too.

I have been unable to create cylinders and spheres; all I get is one vertex, no matter what the size of the wanted cylinder is supposed to be.

Any clue on that?

o2 wasnt designed to be the tool to create the models , but more to edit the models and convert them to p3d format

That is utter bullshit.

If you don't know, don't comment. Its not helpful.

SPhoenix - your problem will be the "Segments Radius" entry when creating a cylinder, and the "Segments Horizontal" / "Segments Vertical" when creating a sphere.

Make sure you enter a value larger than 3 in these options, and you will have a shape created.

A good idea is to use sides in multiples of 4, so 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on. This makes lod making easier.

I completely agree with you DM.

I only use O2 to make all our models including the UV sets. Its just a matter of getting to know the application well and improving your skills. To make ArmA as well as the Future ArmAII models/addons there is absolutely no need to use any 3rd party applications. I use O2, texview and Photoshop. I think my work speaks for itself.

I see you also learned the LOD manipulation basics.....

i did not say u cant create models in O2. mearly saying there are way more efficient/less time consuming ways to create models.
