i doubt they will dissapoint.

anyways, i wont code ANYTHING, just take existing code (im going to get permission for the code first, or base it off things like the jeep.)

so, does anyone know a good free 3-d designer that you guys use?

My top 5 modeling programs.
1. Sketch up
2. Milkshape
3. Blender
4. Anim8tor
5. Bryce 5.5

[mecha51]

anim8or is out of the line, that isnt free.
are the rest free? and what is the simplest to use?

[MtnDew]

Anim8tor is free no?

Also, the ONLY good free one is blender.

[mecha51]

hm, is blender easy to use?
really, i want to use the one you lot use.

No but sketch up and it is free but you cant add any exporter
Heres what i would do
Get sketch and blender and export as 3d model on sketch up then make .zip then open it then get the .dae or something like that out of the .zip and open it in blender, then export as .dts with all the armatuer's

[mecha51]

then get the .dae

stopped there. i got confused.

You explain things horribly.

Take a look at this.

I use Sketchup for free...

[mecha51]

well im back :o

Anim8or is completely free. I suggest you do some research or look around before pointing stuff like that out.

I wouldn't recommend using it, though. It can't export to Torque, and it can't export to anything else that is readable.

[mecha51]

ok, there goes anim8or...

is blender free and easy to use? if it is, id like a tutorial please, thanks.

I'm not sure what you get by paying for Sketchup.
