"3D Studio Max" normally there is many but thats what I used.

In theory I guess one could use "Alias" (what we use at work) but never heard ppl
used that for game modding. "Maya" is also very good made by Autodesk as well.

I guess there is other "free" software out there but...

Many thanks for the links

The autodesk options seem a bit over the budget :hmm: specially when is for a hobby

I am sure there is free stuff...but 3D MAX is what most ppl use i think.
Did a quick search and found this.

SHIV uses .obj files packed into a .dat and most 3d modelling software programs should be able to open these .obj files natively or by using a plugin. You need to extract the .obj files from the .dat first using one of the tools floating around (search these forums for Sensals pack3d tool).

I use wings3d myself, because it's free.

Cheers to both

I'll be looking into this.

My aim is to add a few missing subs to the game but I wonder what tools exist and how difficult will be its integration into SH4 (1st timer on this)
