[AKAIMAX]

Can someone give me a begginers and pros tutorial for Gmax because all the tutorials are for 3dsMax and unfourtunatly 3ds Max costs too much so can anyone post me tutorials for Gmax?

I highly believe you can find tutorials for Gmax just by searching google, and no not all tutorials are for 3DStudioMax, there is also some for milkeshape. Which by the way is a brilliant cheap program to make models with.

Dosen't Gmax have more options?

welll it is up to youself what program you use... they both can do a lot.

So really your own choice, just mentioned it as an alternativ to 3DStudioMax

Then which one would you recommend? All I heard thats bad about Gmax is changing it to mdx.

I use Milkshape, which kinda says it all... but I also have Gmax

My only problem with Milkeshape is that I have to set the animations manually after changing the msd to mdx format. But I would have to change the names anyway.

And I find milkshape more userfriendly then Gmax. And it got some nice converter programs.

But again it is your own choice

I am easily carried by my emotions

You could write the same thing in a bit more forum friendly way... No need to use that word. But it is true.

Well, I could try milkshape but what about magos? Is it any good?

 

[nastyboy_44]

Magos Model Editor? it's for .mdx superior editing, not for model making

But you forgot to say it is very good to do all that with fixing textures, adding particles and similar... you can even greate small animations in it, or use for minor model editing..

Magos = A must have for modelers. That also applies to wc3 viewer


Also if you only want to edit models you can combine it with oinkwinklers tools to get some nice programs for model editing.

 

[nastyboy_44]

Yeah but you will end up .mdl editing in notepad because of some errors

Yea, but thats only fun

Ok, I'll get he milkshape and try it out. Sucks that Mago's can't make models from scratch.

It actualy can, but that would only be effects, spells and projectiles = all made with particles or by using a wc3 model as base.
