Greetings...And welcome to the HIVE.

I am Elenai the Epic.

May The Epic Light lift you in wings.....

For model editing/making programs here are some examples.

Oinkerwinkle tools; Free, easy to use, and highly useful for mdl editing and modeling. General Frank and I use this.

Gmax; Free, but not very good for serious modeling, and it has problems with animating.

Milkshape; Cheap, but a very nice program for all your modeling needs, and combined with Oinkerwinkle tools, is highly effective. SuPa and RDZ use this.

3dsmax; The lord of modeling tools. Blizzard used 3dsmax to create the original models. Highly effective, and excellent for all modeling needs. But it is around $3000 and is very hard to fine...unless.....Anyways, Chriz and other High Lords of Modeling use this, I also dabble with it.

Welcome to The Hive Workshop!

Greetings BladeDeath88. Modeling tools: Warcraft Modelers: A must have! The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.

The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.
  • A few other tips that might help too:
    • Always search first! Did I already mention THAT? :grin:
    • When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
    • Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
    • If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.
