ArmA Modelling Basics

Thx DaSquade! I'll mess around a bit

Hi, here it's a free 3D program that seems that haves potential, and
i guess that it allows to export files into 3DS/3DSM>==>O2 compatible
file tipe. If someone wants or can try it... here it's the Link to the
page:

unfortunately daz3d is only good for posing large-breasted ladies

If you want a free modeling tool go for blender

TIP FOR BOMBS AND MISSILES
Addon makers make sure when you make bomb and missile 3d models, that you give the GEO lod some weight (in kgs) but DO NOT STRUCTURE -> TOPOLOGY -> FIND COMPONENTS
. ie defining "Component01", "Component02" etc in O2

The "Find Components" option in O2 typically makes it so other objects are able to impact the geometry LOD, and vice versa. The problem is this means when a 100kg object doing 900km/h hits another static object, ArmA has a habit of making the static object fly off !! especially ships
It also avoids problems like dropping bombs from a plane and having them "bump" into the plane itself.

Anyhow, a lesson learnt from me, that probably a few in the community already knew.
