| - | The ArmA glass damage animation seems to be one of the biggest enigmas due to the limited amount of info on the subject. All of the modellers that have tried know what I am talking about. As modellers we all know that Objects used in the Geometry or Fire Geometry LOD must be closed and convex in order to work. So once we do this and then put the model in-game, we shoot at the vehicle, the glass gets damaged but does not penetrate and kill the occupants. In other words the glass seems to be bullet proof. | + | The ArmA glass damage animation seems to be one of the biggest enigmas due to the limited amount of info on the subject.

| The correct process lies in the way the model is convexed in the Fire Geometry LOD and the correct modeling of vertices in the Hit-points LOD. The rest is just fine tuning in the config. | The correct process lies in the way the model is convexed in the Fire Geometry LOD and the correct modeling of vertices in the Hit-points LOD.
