Programs and tutorials for creating 3D models

[The Saxman]

Hi,

 

Will someone please post a list of programs for creating models for Jedi Academy, along with their pro's and con's? A list of tutorials would be good also. And for newcomers like me could a moderator stick it at the top of the forum?

 

Thanks,

The Saxman

For player models you need:

 

3D Studio Max 4.x (Max 5 works, dunno about Max 6+)

 

 

Files from Raven's Tool Kit V1.0:

-The .XSI plugin for Max 4.x+

-Carcass.exe

-Assimilate.exe

-Modview.exe

-Kyle's skeleton

 

 

_humanoid.gla

 

 

Winzip

 

 

Window's Notepad

 

 

Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy CD (duh)

 

 

Windows regional settings set to U.S. (i'm not kidding!)

Check my "Complete Guide to JK2 Character Compiling" and refer to JK3 FAQ for the JA process (it's basically the same, just a few bones to drop from the skin modifier).
