-**Earl BIS Dev**"The important part is to create the different LODS, not so much the higher polycount of the most detailled lod."+[[arma2:modeling:​max_poly_count|Max poly count]]
  
-32768 vertices is a hard limit in ArmA -- as direct x counts them. O2's points count is not quite the same thing depending on the number of sharp edges you have. I guess it applies to ArmA2 as well. I think its the max size of the vertex buffer. You'll know when you get there since buldozer fails to draw the model. 
  
 +====== Max Model Geometry size ======
  
-====== ArmA soldier in-game ArmA 2 ======+What is the maximum dimensions size of a model you can create before your geometry doesn'​t work anymore? Check [[arma2:​modeling:​max_model_size|Max model size]].
  
-Copy Geometry, Memory, Hit-Points and Fire Geometry LODs from the example soldier.p3d BIS released. It's best to remove the old LODs completely from your model before applying the new ones. Then use the new model.cfg also given by BIS. 
  
-For best results you should also copy the hands from soldier.p3d and use the new head as proxy (also found in soldier.p3d). Note that the new head model has only two LODs, 1.0 and 2.0. This means for bigger LODs you'll need to copy the head part from soldier.p3d directly.+====== ArmA soldier ​to ArmA ======
  
-You can use config to replace different head for your soldiers.+[[arma2:​modeling:​arma_soldier_to_arma2|ArmA soldier in-game ​for ArmA 2]]
