[Tutorial] MilkShape 3D

[LoserHero]

Hey everyone, I decided I would start doing video tutorials for MilkShape for those new to the program. These tutorials can be found on my YouTube channel DeadFlamingos but you can also just click the links below.

I hope this will help people new to modeling get on their feet at a fast pace.
I will update this thread with new tutorials as I make them. If you have any requests or something you'd like to learn just PM me or post in this topic or in the YouTube channel on what that might be and I will gladly create a tutorial for it.

The first MilkShape tutorial teaches you the basics as we create the Hyrule Shield from Legend of Zelda.

There are delays due to a heavy workload. Expect the new tutorial before Friday this week.

It was tricky thinking up something simple that I could cover within a 3 segment video. But alas, here it is.

I will upload the video sometime soon. This video will go over making the bunny player, as well as animating it.

NOTE: If anyone has followed this tutorial could you please post a picture of your model? Maybe you took it a step further and did something different? I would like to see it.

A very nice tutorial!

There are too many tutorials for beginners. I think there need to be more tutorials for advanced users, displaying tools such as:

Flatten
Mirror
Subdivide
Turn Edge
Divide Edge
Unweld Radial

Updated

Edit: I will definitely do tutorials on those subjects. However my tutorials are procedural and I want someone who is new to MilkShape to be able to follow each video and be able to understand advanced modeling concepts when I finally do get to them. Thanks for the suggestion.

Flatten Flattens the selected faces
Mirror Mirrors the selected faces X Y or Z
Subdivide Multiplies faces
Turn Edge Flips the faces, eg the faces are insideout, you flip them.
Divide Edge Adds a couple edges.
Unweld Radial I'm not sure on this one

Done  

[LoserHero]

Turning an edge and flipping a face are different. Turning an edge would just look like this |/| -> |\| where flipping a face (ctrl + shift + F) inverts the face. Unweld Radial just unwelds all faces from their connected vertices into a radius.

I don't mean to explain what it does, I mean to show it's function in a video. Besides, Aware, flatten doesn't work like that...

I forgot to mention the XYZ.

I made the handle. :3

[LoserHero]

I forgot to go back to the handle. Oops.. Well nice improvision of it.

I made the model, later to find out that suddenly Milkshape "unregistered" me from owning the program, so I could not save it.

[LoserHero]

You probably have multiple versions of milkshape on your computer and the one you used was unregistered. Always double check so you're not wasting your time

[Boomerangdog]

I just went through all of my milkshape versions and they all say un-registered... Does it matter which computer user I bought the program on?

[LoserHero]

Yes the user matters as well

Wow, I don't know half of those 0_0.
