Title: Modding tutorials
Post by: Toorstain on September 21, 2010, 08:28:31 PM

I'm interested in learning how modding works, but i basically know nothing about it. But i guess a couple of persons on this forum does. :)

So i'm wondering if anyone on this forum could post or link to some tutorials that would help me. And I mean basic and general stuff (like "what is coding?", "Make your first model!" or "How to animate!"). I don't think I will be making a mod anytime soon, but It is something I would really love to know how to do. ;D

But Toorstain , I found a free modeling program if you want to check it out , (perfectly legal ) It makes .3ds Files so you can either send it to someone who can convert it or find a way to.
The program is called Wings 3D

In RelicNews there are many tutorials, I think it's the better place to find information about it.

I found a good substitute for 3dsmax. I don't know if someone already mentioned it.

Blender (http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-254-beta/).

I don't know, most probably not. Can load & save 3ds, and works to create animations & models.
