I suck

So, I've never made custom models, and I just started using Gmax. I can create basic shapes, and some recognizable objects but that's about it. Now how do I get these in my game? ...

Also, tips on creating models would be awesome ^.^.

I hate GMAX, but I used this too, when I just started.
To learn all basics there is an awesome GMAX tutorial:

http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/magos.php

There is also said how to export, but here at Hive there exists a GMAX Exporting Tutorial, too. Here's the Link:

I hope it helps you. If not, get Milkshape 3D my favourite model program.

Its better for him to kill himself then to start learning Milkshape 3D.

Gmax & Milkshapre3D are highly recommended tools

I normally wouldn't point that out but you just insulted ms3d.
kthx.
Don't listen to the guy with 4 award icons. Ms3D is a very good tool.

Yes i did and i will do it again

Lvl80UndeadMage, chilla_killa already posted that small tutorial but you should use this exporting script instead

and here are some other scripts that you can use for gmax or 3dsmax

I say peace ... because we both know my ms3D models pewn your 3dsmax ones... HAR > Seriously, I use milkshape a lot and I'm pretty good at it now. I don't think the tool matthers that much.

exactly. Even I can make pretty good models only with Vertex modifier and some other free tools.
The advanced tools just make life easier for you and at the end the result matters and not necessary the way.

After NeoDeX was created, Gmax > Milkshape3D x 1000

 

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

true!

so go with gmax and neodex!

Ooh, this seems a lot easier for me to use :O also got a bit of insight from your tutorial

+rep were it's needed.

EDIT:
>.< Can't export it because it's not registered, didn't know I had to pay to use it, else it's pretty sick. I guess I'm stuck with gmax >.<

GMAX >>>>>>>>>> milkshape
just learn how to use with the great tutorials it contains it and use the NeoDex exporter by BlinkBoy. ;D
