I got it now, not sure what I did but the textures are working, only bug now is the random face thing, they all have the same face, has there been a solution yet? I can't remember wich thread there was a discussion about it...

Anybody got a link for the dlls? ***the link in that topic no worky.....

And just in reflection, it really makes you wonder if people actually beta test this game and all of it's components.....

ive posted a copy of the file on

rapidshare

Quote[/b] ]Stick your .dll`s into a folder of their own inside the Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Tools\Oxygen 2 Personal Edition folder and point your dDLL path in O2 options to that folder (i.e C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Tools\Oxygen 2 Personal Edition\dll or just C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\Tools\Oxygen 2 Personal Edition\ works for me too)

hope it helps

Just wondering, but how many points should a car have? So far I'm about 1/3 done with one side of the car, (no interior yet) and it has about 600. Is that too many or am I fine?

Sounds fine as a start, maybe even low, but depends whats not included, ie wheels for example.

As a guide:
BIs Hummer 1st Res Lod is 8300 points / 8600 faces
BIs Civ Hatchback is 6800 points / 4100 faces

When you are closer to a full shape, post even a Wireframe in the WIP thread and some professions will provide some feedback.

I'm totally confused. I'm working on some troop models, most of which are lower poly (some ~1000 faces) than the BIS standard troops, with basically very similar LODs, and they use less textures (most use 1 2048x2048 colour and similar _AS and _NOHQs).

Yet, ingame they are way way way way less efficient FPS-wise than the standard BIS models, despite all the above characteristics, especially when in ODOL format.

Why? What am I doing wrong?

EDIT - Plus they use the standard BIS model as a base. Damnation!

[Norsu]

I have very similar problems like CameronMcDonald. Has someone succeeded making well optimized units that have edited BISoldier.p3d as a base?

Hi I'm completely new to this. How do I get the BIsample models into Maya.
