[Major Pain]

It's funny but after seeing that it reminds me of how many of thier props are recycled.  It looks alot like the newer Wraith rifles.  The model look great keep it up!

[votan]

This is my model of the ancient console. But at the O2 when you turn it is written is written and error "too many vertices"

[icewind.123]

Yep O2/ArmA doesn't like high poly models, the maximum to import is about 20.000 faces. But for it to be actually used as a prop you should aim for ~500 faces in the first LOD as consoles get placed alot and if they are all high poly it will screw up the fps.

[votan]

And how do I know how many faces in my model? And is it possible to deceive the O2 faces can be imported more than 20.000?

[icewind.123]

I'm not using an external 3d app besides blender but in any 3d app there should be an option to check the poly/face count hidden somewhere, I would google for [Name of your program]+Check polygon count.

No, O2 can't be tricked, only if you reach a certain polygon treshold it will import the model.

You could split the model up into several models in your 3d program (thats how BIS created the aircraft carrier) and set the console in place by using the split-up parts, but I don't recommend that. As said, it will have a heavy effect on FPS.

You're best on if you completely dump the model and rework from scratch and add details like keys and outlines by textures and not by the model itself or use polygon-reduction techniques for your 3d app.

This is my model spacesuit Ancient on which I work right now ... Because did not have enough information about the model I can not make the lower part of the spacesuit ... In the future I hope to try it poke in ArmA 1. If someone else is the configuration of a soldier from ArmA please send it to me I'll be very grateful)

Hey, that looks really cool, if you need more reference, try this site:

http://www.gateworld.net/gallery/index.php?cat=57

It contains 720p sceenshots of all SGU episodes. But the promo pictures category is also nice as it contains very VERY high definition screenshots.

Episodes space suits appear in to my knowledge (theres more I guess)

Ep06
Ep12

___________________

With configuration you mean a model.cfg or the named selections? To get a model ingame the whole body must be sectioned into parts like e.g. "pelvis", "head", "lefthand" etc. and apply a model.cfg which defines the sections.

Don't you have ArmA2, or why would you create it for ArmA1? But anyway, models can easily be used from ArmA1->ArmA2 .

[votan]

icewind.123 thanks for the help now hope to make it even faster)

 After having'll try to make the texture)))

 Well, I'm under configuration meant this:

class sy25_ge: Su25_CDF {
     side = TWest;
   faction = "Georgian";
   vehicleClass = "AIR";
   crew = "Georgian_pilotW"; 
   hiddenSelectionsTextures[] = {"\Georgian_army\su25_body1_cdf_co.paa", "\Georgian_army\su25_body2_cdf_co.paa"};
   displayName = "SU-25";
  };

 I do not have ArmA2.. I have only licensed ArmA1. I had ArmA2, but I have a buggy and it was impossible to play (my computer is weak), because of this I do addons only Arma =)

[icewind.123]

Try this one:

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1k3MaR2C

Important things to notice so it doesnt crash:

"vot_ancient" is the addon folder
"vot_Ancient_suit" is the name of your model in this config.cpp
"vot_Ancient_suit_2" is the model without helmet

This config will only work without binarizing, if you want to binarize it with BinPbo you will have to put cfgSkeletons etc. into a new file "Model.cfg", like this:

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=iVkQi2kZ

and delete it from the config.cpp:

I want to be in O2 only sign where the legs where the arms and where the head? and now I have a model has been without a head, it will automatically own that I add or what?

 In the configuration that you gave me all I want is to sign the texture will get there and everything?

[votan]

At me a question to those who creates models of soldiers! In my model it is obligatory to put a head? That because of that that I put a head, it turns out so ranges much and the model does not open in О2.
My model in 3ds max (I have again started it to do, problems with the computer and not only...)

[icewind.123]

You mean put in a head before importing to O2?

You don't need to put a head in, you can add a ArmA1 head later when you've imported the suit into O2.

Once imported into O2 you can also select heavy polygon areas and play around with the merge option to reduce the polygon count. This might affect future UV Mapping, but it seems you didn't apply textures yet anyway so it will be ok.

[votan]

Thank icewind.123 if I understood correctly, then I'm going to learn a little later to make the texture for the model ... And how do you know how much O2 landfills? That in 3ds max I have written I have chtot 19,286 polygons, along with the head ...

[icewind.123]

You mean how much polygons O2 can import? I think it is about 30.000 polygons, but to be able to start Bulldozer it must be lower than 20.000 or so, but this isn't the same for every model.

If O2 doesn't import properly you can split up the model in 3dsmax, import both parts seperate and merge points to decrease polygon structure and then rejoin both files.

[votan]

I did, the model allowed it! But with the head model soldier takes more 20 000 polygons ... Do I need to embed a model soldier's head? or she will automatically put your computer?
I am not as I do not understand how to begin to do the texture for the model ... Where better to start first and how best to do? I have Photoshop, I made sure that there will open the drawings, with the enlargement of "paa".
