How do I make vehicles?

[tFighterPilot]

I have 3D Studio Max, and have started making a snow speeder, and I hope to make it a vehicle (haven't decided if to make it a flying type, like the x-wing, or a speeder type.

 

I know about the npc file and the veh file, but I'm asking about the model itself (tags, compiling, ect...)

 

I know duncan already made two vehicles, I loved them both

 

Thanks

many people asked me about vehicle modeling, now i came to the conlusion, we need a tutorial. the guidance writen by ChangKhan[RAVEN] is (i am sorry to say that) a little little bit unclear and (sorry, sorry) wrong. it doesnt work, or at least none managed to make new vehicles that way (sorry, sorry, no offence, i like all of you raven guys). heres the like his post:

i can do the modeling part of the tutorial, that what you asking for imyourfather, if someone else does the .veh, .npc, skins and shader files part, would make it much easier. i do everything till creation od glm and gla files.

could someone take the other part?

I think I fully understand the npc and the veh files, I looked at a lot of them.

 

Anywho's that's what I got so far.

 

Is there anyone here who is good with skinning? I suck at it.
