D.I.R.T. - Dynamic Textures

Applies texture layers dynamically to units in Arma 3


Bring your battlefield to life with D.I.R.T., a powerful and immersive Arma 3 mod that dynamically applies environmental textures to uniforms and backpacks in real-time. Watch as your units gradually get dirty, soaked, scorched, or frosted — all based on what's happening around them.

No more static, clean uniforms in the middle of a firefight. Whether trudging through mud, getting drenched in the rain, or crawling through snowy terrain, D.I.R.T. adds that missing layer of realism and visual storytelling to your missions.

• Dynamic texture layering on soldiers and gear using Arma's UI2Texture system
• Smooth transitions between effects for visual realism
• Highly optimized to manage VRAM usage and performance via re-usable texture canvases
• Fully configurable in-game through the "Addon Options" menu

Currently Supported Effects
• Dirt buildup
• Snow coverage
• Rain soaking
• Active snowfall
• Burn/scorch marks (ACE fire compatibility)

Customizable & Extendable
D.I.R.T. also acts as a framework: add your own environmental effects via mission config (description.ext) or through compatibility mods. Perfect for mission makers and modders looking to take immersion to the next level.

Blood Textures

Q: Will this work with any gear mod?
A: It will work with any mod, the uniforms and backpacks however need to be re-texturable for this to work.

Q: Can you make it so the effects only appear on certain body parts?
A: Nope, as the nature of the beast, each uniform texture is different and I would need to make custom textures for any uniform.

Q: Will this work on vehicles?
A: Nope, different beast all together.

Q: Is this performance heavy?
A: Not performance heavy, but memory heavy. If you are experiencing issues with blurry textures, either restart your game, use the "FLUSH" cheat, and decrease the maximum dynamic texture setting.

Q: Helmets, vests, and weapons are not affected!
A: Not possible right now using a script solution. This needs Bohemia to add support for these as well.

Q: Can this be used client side without the server running the mod?
A: Yep. The base functionality is all client side, maybe some features in the future require everyone to run the mod.

Q: It is snowing but it applies the rain texture, is this broken?
A: Only recently-ish a flag has been added to tell arma the snow particles are actually snow and not rain. Some (older) maps may not have that update. However you can update the rain effect to be flagged as snow by running this on all clients and people that join afterwards.

Q: There is another mod that does the same, what gives?
A: I am not beating around the bush here. That mod is a direct inspiration for this one, but I disagree with the handling of "displays" and thus the stark buildup of VRAM usage. I have given suggestions to the mod author but I received the answer that these parts are not being touched anymore, thus I decided to implement a mod on my own with these suggestions in mind.

Known Issues
> Loading savegames will make units end up pitch black.
A work around, which does not fully work has been implemented, but it seems there is an Arma3 bug at play as well...

> Vests and Helmets do not have dynamic textures
Actually not an issue, simply no support from Arma for this
