3d max 4

[satyr]

hi i'm kinda new in this stuff so try to follow a tutorial about modeling so it says to download 3d max 4 i look on Google nothing there so if you have 3d max pliz download it or tell me where to find it pliz

The big problem is that 3ds max is NOT free...The 3ds software is indeed VERY expensive....

So NOBODY in this forum will give you a direct download link because it would be illegal...

And there is another problem... The newest 3ds max version is 2009 and it will be very difficult to find the old version

Blender is a free modelling tool, I've never used it, however, so I don't know how much use it will be to you.
There should be lots of help around, blender being open source. So, I'd recommend blender's own forums.

Mh if you look for other tools:

There are lots of 3d modeling tools. I give you a list of them:

1. 3ds max (very expensive, but very functional tool (VERY), Version 4-5 support warcraft art tools)
2. Gmax (light version of 3ds max, free (register needed but free), not as functional as 3ds max but still good, lots of good tutorials)
3. milkshape (not free but not expensive, GREAT tool for wc3 modeling, many tutorials)
4. Blender (open source, HUGE number of tutorials, GREAT tool, but i never saw anybody using it to create wc3 models...)

Maybe that gives you a little overview.

I would really try to use blender. If it does not work with wc3 use gmax

Blender is shit for wc3 modding, don't even bother.

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Why is blender "shit" for wc3 modding???
Is there a good reason?

Because my friend and I always discuss about the best 3d modeling tool...And he loves blender

Maybe because you can't actually export anything from it for wc3!?! Warshape is buggy as hell.

lots of people have done youtube videos for gmax. At least as I've seen, so you might like that one better.
