Modding - a n00b's awakening... (serious thread)

[nova_wolf]

Hi guys.

 

Some of you may know me from these forums, doing the odd bit of research for someone on request or if I feel the subject culd use some backing / continum basis.

Giving ideas for mods, twists, turn, storylines (Family Bond is still available for a group if they want) etc.

 

But I have only ever been capable in an ideas and conceptual manner. I have always wanted to learn the practical side of modding, and in deed of work as seen with the SWMA when they were still around.

 

As such, I am getting a new machine (REAL beefy) and am going to embark uopn some low level stuf. I have 3D MAX and Visual C++ (with experience), a hot PC and ideas.

 

But what more do I need? Well, if someone could point me in the direction of some good:

• Texture Archives
  
• Model Archives (examples to learn from and use in practicing animations)
  
• Other programs (After Effects has been mentioned with high regard)
  
• Sites/Groups will to train / help me if I put in some serious hours before hand
  

Cheers for you assistance with in my most n00bist of times.

 

Nova Wolf,

lol You destroyed any chance of getting many people to read or reply when you put the words "serious thread" in the title.

 

I might suggest you post this in the modding forum. Not only would you get more qualified responses, but you'd probably get less riff raff like me!

 

Or, I might go pluck a chicken... (or an egg, whichever comes first...). In any case, good luck to you!
