Hey, I've been noticing so many awesome models of weapons and such, and wanted to join in. I know it may not be easy, but perhaps that's where YOU come in.

Firstly - What is a free program that I can download and use to create custom models for weapons??

Secondly - Perhaps someone (coughIMMORALcough) Can create a tutorial for something like this, since there seems to be one on mapping, why not modelling?


Anyone feeling helpful today? unsure.gif

NOTE: The underlined words are NOT links. If you want these then search for them yourselves.

Modeling Programs:
------------------------
Milkshape 3D (MS has a 60 day trial version and is the cheapest)

3ds Max (I'm not sure if this still has a trial version and its kinda expencive)

Maya (I have no info on this, I just know its a modeling program)
------------------------

And then theres that one that comes with the HL2 SDK(or so I've heard) but I forgot what it was called.. I think it's called SoftImage.

Half-Life Model Viewer(or HLMV for short) isn't a modeling program it's a model viewer and is best used for viewing a model, reskinning, exporting/importing textures. You can also open the .pak files(HL's "zip" files) and extract models, sounds, etc.

I suggest getting Jed's HLMV instead of the regular HLMV because it is a lot better. This has added stuff like letting you view chrome or transparency on models, and the ability to open the steam .gfc files which contain the models/sounds/etc. that come with any of Valve's steam downloadable games.

Because I have never, ever touched a 3d modeling program.

Regardless, -Rusty- seems to have this covered.

[sarcasm] [/sarcasm]

Not irony...

Most moddelers use 3dsmax, i personally don't know anyone who doesn't... I'l pm you with info on how to get it a 5finger discount....


--------------------
This is what Ive said for the past couple months every time has requested source: BB source is highly unlikely because the mod team (Ironoak) has decided to use the crystal engine to create an rpg, although they have said there is a small chance of going to source but please, for the sake of all mankind, do not request a port and/or create polls, or even useless threads about the porting of BB, because it is most likely not going to happen, thank you for reading.
