This video tutorial explains how to set up a basic 3D model in DayZ's object builder. We cover:
- How to find a 3D model for free, and convert its filetype if necessary
- How to import the model into Object Builder
- How to set up the textures, RVMATs and various LODs
- How to retexture the item in cpp via hidden selections and model.cfg
- How to add dozens of custom attachment slots complete with visual proxies
- How to configure a basic deployable kit via my ZenModCore framework
- How to script the item so that it can be crafted & dismantled back into a kit
- How to script the item so it cannot be picked up in the hands/put in cargo
- Several other basic 3D model editing advice and tips for beginners.
This is part of a potential series of in-depth tutorials - if you guys like this sort of thing and want to see a deeper dive into this sort of scripting content then please let me know.
