what should i use to make a ship???

[d5j55]

i tryed to use wings 3d to make a ship but somehow i just cant get it to work right. so i was wondering if there was another thing that i can use for the making of the ship.


PS: i was also wondering if when you make the ship do you make the guns in different files than insert it into the hulls model or can you just make the ship with the guns already on?

There are alot of free 3D model programs out there.
Misfit is one.

MilkShape 3D also.

You need to pick one and stick with it till you learn how to use it.
Then read all the great posts about how to do things.

It's not an over nite job.
Only you can decide how far you can go.
It's your time after all.
:up:


The guns and stuff are already there.
They need assigned to each unit as you build them.
Do some searches to understand and feel free to PM me with questions
if you need to.

Just to add one, not recommending don't know anything about any of the ones mentioned, but "Blender" is another one that is free. I used it to import the 'in game' Sen Toku to lower the fake periscope and snorkel ( and then Skwasjer had to bail me out because the textures were messed up). So that is all I know about the program, lot of help there:rotfl:. Good luick.

Yes,
Blender is a good one.
I have tried that.
The Misfit is a new one I just came across that looks ok.
I use 3DS Max 9 but always look at free programs to try to help
people that can't get the high dollar programs.
Only reason I have 3DS Max 9 is someone else paid for it.
That Company wanted my bids in a certain format,
so they paid for it.

interesting, i do have 3ds max and also gmax i use gmax because it is on my computer 3ds max is on my other one two hours away :shifty:. do you think that gmax will work work just as well for SHIV as 3ds???(i used it with a 3ds max plugin so where ever i am i can use a file.)

oh and once more thanks for even more sugestions:up:
