Was thinking today about tutorials for modelling for Arma/2. Its still very hard for newcomers to get to grips with the tools that are released due to the fact so little documentation is giving with the tools, even with the few tutorials we do have (some of which are from ofp which is 8 years old!) they are all mostly in written format. I honestly find videos with commentry so much easier to work with, as more then often the author forgets to mention something little that could have a major effect on the outcome! Wouldnt it be great to have a channel on youtube that has basic step by step tutorials from setting up o2, modelling a basic model, uv-unwrapping, animations, even configs! It would be so useful for new and old and could boost the amount of work that comes out for arma2! Whats your thoughts ladies and gentlemen?

Sad news Meshcarver although totally know where your coming from with regards to free time and that evil thing called real life. Id love to model again but have rarely time to do anything other then work and sleep :S Your works and vision have been awe inspiring and i really hope that in future you can continue! Be nice to win a few million just so you can work on your dreams eh?

Just a random idea that popped into my head whilst i was sucking up all the cool stuff you have posted :D (excellent work by the way) Just imagine running into your buildings and having the ability to block the door or doorway with a piece of furniture or a large item that is sitting near the door. It could then trigger a script that makes the door take longer to open and play a nice sound snippet of "banging, scratching and screaming" Would give you a few minutes more to compose yourself. reload and either find another way out or defend yourself. That would scare the hell out of anyone!!!

Alright mate, yeah all good in the world of Jeff! Ooooo tempting back into the fold eh? :D Im a bit rusty with o2 when i fired it up a few months back but i have been playing with Modo for a lil while. If you need any help on some lil things let me know yeah? You still unwrapping in o2 or does modos uvunwrapper now do all that evil work? Enforcer is looking lovely by the way ;)

Bonjour guys, thought id just pop on to say hi and have a butchers of what being done :D Glad to see your still busy beavering away on the projects and even Dans back to doing what he did best ;D Everything is looking great chaps nice one! ;)

Hello chaps! Thought it was about time for us to post in the ARMA2 section of this wonderful site. There has been a slight confusion wether we (PUKF) will still be producing British kit for Arma 2 :confused:........ well me posting in this section gives you the answer. :D Although we have lost two wonderful addon makers (Messiah and Pathy) the team is still working very hard at releasing the huge number of models on our harddrives. As you may be aware the first model to be released will be the Warrior (see below). Which is nearing completion! For more info regarding our plans for the future, more news and higher res screenshots, please visit us at http://www.pukf.net Any questions that we can answer will be answered as long as the question isnt regarding release dates! :D Cheers!

Nice work Rock good to see your still working on with your models, Modo's a good program mate quite a few using it now, didnt think it was that good for bakes though i always found it a bit of a pain to do, have you any good resources for high poly modo bakes?

To be honest though i do wanna see great things with this game and i think the people moaning are doing so because they mainly care about this game and bohemia! I wanna see great things and want the game to do really well! Some do just moan cause they can but others do have a passion for BIS and their work!

No problemo!

Gnat made some brill vids to help guide new members within the modding community http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=83921 You may find them useful Jedra!

I think a big issue with mods is that there wasnt much help with regards to bis sample models. I personally would have loved to see a example model in each catergory. 2 wheeled, 4 wheeled, tanks, boats ect. Its far too hard for beginners to pick up and start placing a model into arma2 compared to ofp days...

A better fire from cover system! http://www.giantbomb.com/cover-system/92-55/

Its all down to money my friend, otherwise the military would only need to buy Arma 2 and not need to buy the slightly more expensive VBS2.

I voted yes. All i can see are plus points for BIS and for myself. Cost will be so much less for BIS which would help hopefully in development of either new engines or advancements. Piracy would also be cut due to the signing in of steam and verified data. Hopefully hacked games would also be limited due to the game actually being bought and activated via steam making multiplayer a much more happier experience. DVD's are fastly becoming a thing of the past, look at the music and film industry now, everything is moving to digital format. I seriously dont understand why people like hard copies :confused: You could say "well i get a hard copy of the manual, a map or whatever" but all those things are easy to print from pdf formats. Come on people Digital copies are the future :D In the longrun we the customer will reap the benefits of this decision. I dont care for cd, dvd or blueray and feel all they do is clutter. Steam all the way :D

BY eck great work there guys! All very impressive work! I had to double take at first! ;)

I suppose the amount of research needed in terms of story and reference is what would be off putting for anyone to create a ww1 game. Its bloody hard getting reference even for modern day stuff let alone ww1!

Its a small independant company too where id rather see my hard earned cash go to. May have to purchase this when im home. Nice find, loving the barricade of the doors :D

By eck that should have had a disclosure or something regarding heart attacks!!! Scared the hell out of me!! :eek:

I was thinking do you actually need weapons anymore for that GR. You could just turn invisable and take the commander of the opposing force without firing one bullet! Thats maybe the problem with UBIsoft They have been taken over by a bunch of hippys!:Oo: Money is the route to all evils. Support small software companys that provide us (the pc) owners with decent gameplay with a pinch of passion!

Maybe a few visual aids would be nice so people can actually see what you have been making. Sounds very interesting though, hats off to you for involving yourself in such a large task!

Quick WIP progress on my lil Mastiff 2, im going to bake all these nice details down onto the lowpoly version. The External still needs some loving, but im getting there! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Loving that Island Prowler!!! Quick WIP progress on my lil Mastiff 2, im going to bake all these nice details down onto the lowpoly version. The External still needs some loving, but im getting there! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I bought into the hype thinking this was indeed a decent game and was bored after a days worth of playing it. As Zipper posted a page back the game is very tedious with repetative gameplay that involves the same rubbish again and again! I wanna walk into a dusty old town, with the old tumble weed, a strong hazy sunset, and shoot up the town! Walking into saloons with the music suddenly stopping and having a hardcore bar fight with the local bad guys, using tables, chairs and bottles as weapons! Not sit down and play freaking poker!!! I can do that on gamespy! Talent is dwindling in the games industry, money and greed is the reason!

How about some of us creating some bad press for our local press to eat up! E.g A 32 year old from Northamptonshire was recently arrested for forgetting to feed his gerbal "Harry" after spending several days "hooked" playing Arma 2: Operation arrowhead. Police were notified when a neighbour complained of a rotten smell of Lettuce and carrots with a hint of desert rat coming from where Mr Jeff pinnock resides. Mr pinnock was seen being dragged off by police at about 1.30pm kicking and screaming "oh no, one is down" A police spokesperson confirmed the arrest of the 32 year old, commenting that Mr Pinnock had trekked 30 miles by foot because a noob had crashed a helicopter into a tree. This caused him to forget what time /day it was hence his inabllity to feed harry..... blah blah blah.....:j:

COME ON ENGLAND!!! For tomorrow :D
