OXYGEN public release??

[3XTR3ME]

argh...damned pessimists....lol be what you want my friend for we all (some of us) are getting our hopes up...

I'm still with the idea of showing your work to BIS, such as previous projects, and proper knowledge of 3D modelling, thus, less newb questions that will come rolling in the front door of the Oxygen Forums, sorry if I sound so harsh, but its true, you cant have thousands of new-to-3D people saying whats a vertex? how do I move it around? when, basically I think BIS would like to release it to those who know what they're doing, thats my side of the story, dont go flaming me for my own opinion  ,  ;D cheers

Cedaie  

EDIT: for those who don't have previous projects, go work on some, make a few models, otherwise you shouldn't really need Oxygen.

EDIT 2: question, is Oxygen a 3d modelling program in its self or just an import export?

[KTottE]

Oxygen will be released

Oxygen will be available for download by anyone

Oxygen is a modelling tool. With .3DS import capabilities. And you can make LODs, selections and all the other important stuff you need to make your model usable by OFP.
Then you save it in .p3d format and live happily ever after.

There will be a special Oxygen FAQ (which I am in charge of getting together) for all newbies. Even those who has worked with 3D Studio for 10+ years needs to read the FAQ.
We Breathers are doing the FAQ for you guys, but we're also doing it for ourselves. It's not fun to answer a gazillion questions a day =)

[Cedaie]

sounds good to me

I don't think that I need o2 for 3d modelling when I have 3ds max. As it can be really hard I heard  ;D

So basicly, things that I need o2 is physics of the object, texturing right and most of all, importing it to game.

So it would be cool that someone would make even a small manual how to make physics of tanks, guns and other objects like tree, bush etc.

The best way to know hwo to do this is to look at otehr BIS models (BMP for example) . Thats what I did

[ElemenS]

As long as they release it with a clear, spotless readme/tutorial, I dont see why not ?

I really hate it how engineers do stuff for themselves, hell i'm no hacker or a very intense person regarding programming, but i'do know what kinda islands/addons/guns/and mods people want to see and use.

Its a shame to let others miss out products of another ones creative mind, just becos that person hasn't the technichal know-how-skills, the 'engineers degree' to use a tool like O2.

As i write this reply, i'm almost done downloading those wredit tutorials, since im still pretty lost with it. Not enough, my 700mhz cpu with 300 ram doesnt seem too wrpedit-friendly either.
***************************************
Question: What kinda hardware is required to run wrpedit 'smoothly'?  (checks his wallet-[*sighs*]-)  :'(
***************************************

Havent seen O2 in action yet, but guess it shouldnt be too demanding on my pc, its only wireframes right?
- hey' im not the one whos about to build a boieng747  

So far OFP is still the greatest game around, just becos of its huge editing opportunities, hope BIS wont turn its back on us with any ''O2 for special people only'' - release....

O2 has to be the worst program to use because it has a steep learning curve and little to no documentation - note why KTottE is making the FAQ - great stuff KTottE - i'll be sure to grab that off u (before its released  ;D )

[KTottE]

I guess I can tell you guys how the FAQ will look, it will be in the form of threads and posts on a special Oxygen FAQ board over at Flashpoint 1985.
We have not decided on exactly how much info there will be in the FAQ, but as of right now, the FAQ will contain all the info you will need to use Oxygen.
It will explain LODs and how to use them, as well with other advanced features, but you won't get a
"M1A1 Abrams, step by step" tutorial to teach you how.

[FOLGORE]

Seems you know enough!! can you tell us when it will be released Oxygen and the FAQ ??
I think is the most imoprtant thing to know.

[KTottE]

There is no release date for Oxygen, and the FAQ will be released on the same day. So, I can't really help you guys out.

[Eviscerator]

definately wont be a clear spotless manual, the few tutorials we got were in broken english and not making much sense at all, so most of the stuff we now know is thanks to other guys with o2 and ourselves now the faq is being made hopefully we wont have to answer annoying questions...

[KTottE]

Which is why we're making it. I'm doing this probably more for myself than for you newbies

But seriously speaking, everything we know about O2 we know because we're all a bunch of dedicated little buggers trying to find out more about this thing.
So a big shout go out to everyone in the ModMaker community who has helped us build this knowledge-base for O2.

[Dark Knight]

as this is on about Oxygen does any one here have it right now and are willing to email it to some one?

if so give me a message and i will give u the email address of whom to send it to


there is money involve  ;D

[KTottE]

That was not appriciated at all Dark Knight.
Warez in any form are prohibited here on OFPEC, and talking about them will get you into trouble.
Since you may not have been fully up-to-speed with OFPEC rules I will not give you a warning this time, but if this should happen again you can consider yourself warned.

Everyone, please pay no attention to Dark Knight's post. Let's just get on with the thread.
