Hi!

I'm very good at 3Ds Max Desing and i'm really determinated to make addons for ArmA...

I just wanted to know if it was possible with a plugin or the instructions to make it...

Actually, my idea of this is:

1- I create a tower (as any other thing... this is just an example) in 3Ds Max Desing 2010.
2- I apply a wooden texture to it (that texture's already defined in 3Ds Max Desing 2010).
3- I use a plugin or save the file to a specific type.
4- Convert it to .PBO with a program.
5- Place the .PBO in the right place.
6- See it in-game.

Best Regards, SGJackson!

If you can export as a .3ds, you can open it in oxygen, and save as a .p3d.

But a model alone isn't much good, it needs LODs, geometry, roadways and AI paths.

I don't know about importing textures, oxygen can import .3ds UV maps, but textures need to converted separately. If it's just a tile-able block texture, then it's probably easiest to apply the texture in oxygen anyways...
