HarryZhe 10 Posted February 4, 2011 wait, why does oxygen open BVH? thats a bipedal animation format... custom animations are possible in arma2 after all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDog 11 Posted February 4, 2011 Harry, yes they are possible. They're frame-based like usual, but as far as I know there's no real documentation on it or anything. Making the .rtm file for the animation is easy, well... easy as setting the pose each frame anyway. The config is the hard part to figure out. A while ago I tried figuring it out scrounging up little scraps of related info and then experimenting from there. I managed to get as far as having a guy pull two fingers out of his fist while raising his arm (wasn't trying for a nice animation, just to get it to work).

ziiip 1 Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Thanks Fox, I'll take a look. Edit: can you tell me the max number of faces I can have on my model which also works in ArmA2? Edited February 6, 2011 by ziiip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta Hawk 1829 Posted February 10, 2011 Can someone who has Volvo FH16 semi trucks in thier country please contact me. I need reference images of the truck in order to make it for ArmAII, but because I live in America I can't get any. The internet is a poor source for detailed pictures. ANyone that helps can be a beta tester when i get it into game. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not really great practice to make a model of a model but at least the scale model guys do their research. Plus, if you get to a scale model project site, you can usually see the thing as its being assembled to get a look at the interior and such from angles that normally aren't possible.

Delta Hawk 1829 Posted February 11, 2011 Max Power, thank you for your reply. If I do get this in game, I'd like for you to be a beta tester cause so far you are the only that has helped me. I've looked at modeling sights and they do have good references, but the problem is there are so many different configuration of the chassis that pretty much no source of reference online is complete enough that I can get a good idea of what to do, which is why I need someone to get next to the real thing and photograph everything about it, specifically, the chassis.

Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted February 11, 2011 Hmmm... I think I came across a site once that had walk around pics of trucks like that. Ill dig through my Firefox, see if I have the address. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a beta tester but you can check out the beta tester group in my sig and contact a person or two from there. Those are tester people recommended by other ArmA 2 content creators. You can pay me back by joining the Trusted Tester - Developers group and sharing your experiences with the testers you do use, whoever they are :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max power 21 Posted February 24, 2011 I just wanted to say that after a great deal of time looking, I finally found a scale model of the project I'm working on. It has not only accelerated by production time, but has allowed me to identify and correct errors already present in the model quickly and easily. If anyone wants to blast through a project with a high degree of accuracy, I recommend getting a scale model very highly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
