yeah, modeling tools. I found out i wanted to start with modeling swords, armors etc etc.. So i startet with blender and found out that it was not so easy as i thought. so could someone help me find a program thats easyer? (if there is one) And maybe help me getting started? just the basics i mean..

The tutorial i found was 12 pages long for modeling a person.

Any help is appreciated

I moved this to Oblivion Mod-Maker Help, Chuck. I don't mod, so I can't help you with your question, but there are a lot of useful guides here that might be worth looking into, if you haven't already.

ah blender, took me bout 2 hours to get the hang of... i can send u some of the tutorials were using in class... very short... simple... things...

and its best imo to start with something simple to learn the comands.. and people and armor, and advanced stuff should be delt with later on...

Does Gimp do modeling? I haven't used it, but I've heard people talking about it somewhere.

its for making textures.... the free... lower end... version of photoshop... basicly...

Oh. Well, I had another modeling program, Bryce, but it was both harder to learn and expensive to buy. I don't think that would be a better alternative to Blender.

Actually, Chuck, for the money (free) I don't think you're going to find a better program than Blender. It seems to include a lot of what someone might need, perhaps a little too lot, but everything is there for whatever you might wish to do. The only thing is the large learning curve. Unfortunately, I think that's going to be the case for any good modeling program. The nature of the beast, at least for the time being.

On the good side, I've counted over 2 dozen tutorials available for it, also free, running from the "knows a bit already" venue to "what is a modeling program" one, including a whole series of free, downloadable videos. I think if you are serious about wanting to learn this talent, you may just wish to set your mind to it and learn it. Can't be too much harder - from what I've seen - than learning to mod. And, could very well be handy in the future.

nowena, im taking a class on blender... and we are looking for tutorials, and mateials... well techincaly the class is about 3d moddleing, and animation... but still... hehe

if u find anything of interst it may prove of use to me atleast

ps i get to work with 3d studio max too aswella s blender

for those who dont know, 3d studio is the program beth used to make the models for oblivion...

aswell the same thing fire used wen he made stuff for us..

Hey! I just found this on Nexus:

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16305

It says its tutorials for a "simpler 3D modeling program". I haven't tried it yet, but I downloaded it to test it out. You might like to look at it.

(The program, Wings3D, is free and link for downloading is in the first tutorial.)

I know a lot of modelers use 3ds Max. It is VERY expensive though. A professional license costs $3500 or a student license if you are a student can be obtained for $350 http://www.journeyed.com/item/Autodesk/ ... /100965793

Hmm. Sorry, I didn't check back on this thread, Scythe. Do you still need any of those tutorials? I can hunt up the links if you do.
