Reason Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Guys I really want to create this model of an Angel because I am in a clan called The Angels in Jedi Academy. Please tell me what program is best for making a model and possibly tell me where to get a free one or payed one?! PLEASE I AM DESPERATE!!!
CortoCG Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Chill out a bit, cuz even if you get the program, it will take time and patience to learn. Some use 3dsmax 4 or 5 to make models for Jedi Academy, and I use softimage xsi. There're no actually free programs to create models for this game.

Reason Posted July 18, 2004 Author Posted July 18, 2004 Okay I forgot that I am not allowed to use P2P programs anymore is there not a free trial I can get somewhere?
Mercenary Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 If you've never used the max environment before I recommend you get the lite version called gmax (it's free) first so you can learn and not waste any time when you download a 30 day trial of 3ds max 6. a lot of plugins don't work for 3ds max 6 so you might be SOL anyways but I'll provide you the links: gmax http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/ 3ds max http://www4.discreet.com/3dsmax/
Scythe01 Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Another excellent program is milkshape 3D. I personally call it the gamers modelling software. Its has an incredible amount of game model exporters/importers and was designed as modelling software for games. There also seems to be a lot of tutorials for milkshape 3D (More than I have found for other programs), including many for Jedi Academy. Gmax is also great software, especially because it is free. milkshape 3D on the other hand does cost $25 to register. So if you are gonna just do a few models then just use the trial on 3DS MAX 6, milkshape or get gmax. If you are going to continue modelling then go for gmax or milkshape. 3DS MAX 6 is incredibly expensive. Milkshape can be found here http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/
Mercenary Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Yeah, I recommend MilkShape too. It's a handy little program worth the $25. Can't finish player models with it yet, you'll have to wait til version 2.0 right now it's at 1.7
tFighterPilot Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 hehe, no, milkshake suck, gmax is so much better
Hindy Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 I would advise caution with switching between versions of 3ds max also, Im swapping between Max 4 & 6 atm due to tech difficulties with 4.2 on my pc. Anyway u have to import files made in 6 into 4.2. Im currently doing Princess Leia (images in showcase) and everytime i switch pcs i have to reweld the verts... Dunno why? they just come unstuck Hindy
