Mac Modeling t00lz

[iplaystarcraft]

im sure this has been asked many times before.....
Are there any modeling tools on this site, or on others, for macs?!?

on this site, hellz no.

i use Blender, from blender3d.org. its an amazingly powerful modeling and rendering program, but a 3dsmax user's worst nightmare and hard to learn.

i use it to make every single model i have ever made and i definately recommend it.

thanks, btw can you give me some tips on how to work it?

the tuts on the site got me started out, i would suggest the castle one if you have never used the program before.

i'm horrible at tutorial writing meself.

thanks a bunch!

i think i got the hang of it now.
all i need to know is how to make WCIII models, i know you not good at tutorials but could you try ?
all i need to know is how to get started and how to save 'em.

at the moment, i dont know exactly how to export animations, UV's and vertices at the same time. there are some scripts i've found that dont really work. i have been searching for a way to do this for months. almost a year now.

the only way i found out to export UV's and verts is to use blender to export as the format, .OBJ, then have a 3dsmax user import the obj to 3dsmax 5, who will then export to MDX/MDL.

ill keep you posted.

as to tutorial writing, anything i stuck at you wouldnt be half as helpful as the stuff on blender3d.org. trust me.

saving a model? eh...file>Save as? or do you mean wc3 models. either way you got it.
