What do you use?

I would like to try to make some custom ships, but I don't know what program to use or how to use it. Can someone give me a link to a good SHIII compatable 3D creator program, and tutorial for it please? Thx.

Yes, if it can import/export .obj files.
Gmax is a good choice and it has many tutorials and good support.

I suspect the reason that you have had no replies is because there is soooo much incorporated in the answer.

3D Modelling, UV Mapping, Texture creation, Hex editing, cloning/importing.

It makes the mind boggle.

Only very few members can do all and most just specialise in one area.

Wings 3D is another good choice.

ok, that makes sence, I did find some tutorials on a site somewhere, the thing is, that I would like to know that it would be compatable with SHIII before I get to far in to it. Wings 3D worked you said? I'll look into that. Thanks!
