export them to .3ds and then import them in o2

does operation flashpoint support normal maps

no

upon exporting/importing 3ds into 02, make sure you have kfdata dummy section present.

export/import ONE material at a time. multiple ones will cause uv error

HA! Amazing, just came here to see if anyone could give me a hint on what kfdata was.
I have a similar plan to Landychev but I'm a complete noob at 3d modelling and (with the exception of some schooling over 10 years ago) my current experience is in hours! I've already tried to export a 3ds from Blender, but naturaly ran into the kfdata error.

I'm basically a patient person but as modelling for Arma is currently much of my motivation, and I havent found any other reference to it. I was hoping one of you nice people could give me a clue on this.
