Sins Forums
I am looking for a program to creat ships for Sins. I have never attempted this before and could use some sugestions, because I am new I'm looking for something somewhat easy to use.
Thanks for any help.
Well there is Autodesk but it will set you back several hunderd to a thousand dollar, but if you are going the cheapest, study the mesh files and get out your notepad and start playing around with the numbers and the code
Softimage's XSI mod tool is a free version of XSI that you can use for 3d modeling. There are plenty of video tutorials on the site, and a Sins-specific tutorial on how to convert XSI models to game meshes in the forge tools documentation.
another free one is GMax, though there will need to be a maxscript for mesh import/export created (i've tried once, it's not that easy). GMax is essentially a free, dumbed-down version of 3DS Max 4 or 5. Another one you might look at is Wings3D, which I hear is very well liked by its users. another one for skinning- Blacksmith3D, which allows you to paint your materials directly onto the model surface. Note that I haven't used Wings or Blacksmith, but from what I hear it's a very reputable and well liked program.
