That does it I have searched and searched bu8t I can not find a suitable program or I mean no program at all that fits the requirements that fit the tutorial here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=73297&b=24
I CANT FIND A 2D IMAGING PROGRAM!! I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN MODELS HELP!!!

P.S I have downloaded milkshape and the UVMapper pro demo which I cant save stuff on (I mean come on that's stupid) so I have and old version of it just waiting for something to come up and bite me on the behind for using an old version.

And an entity creator tool.

Can anyone post some respectable programs to expand my inner 3d model creating self. It would be awesome thx.

A 2D imaging program, you obviously didn't search. Photoshop, the GIMP are some? Making 3D models isn't a skill which you can learn in a few days, you need to put in some work, and serious perseverence.

You can't expect people who slaved away making a program to give it away free, your going to have to pay to register programs like Milkshape.

There's one on the FPS Creator website.

dude, save yourself the time, download blender (blender.org) then down load TheGimp. ther that is your photoediting software and your 3D studio.. and I know if you searched you would have found these as they are listed a several hundred times in each thread....

Download GIMP. I believe it's at gimp.org I could be wrong though. Too lazy to try it out.

I personally don't like Blender. Just because..... well I don't know it just didn't suit me. So before I bough Milkshape I used Metasequoia. Which you can find at Metaseq.net

You don't want anything that costs money like UVmapper pro. I highly recommend Lithunwrap, Blender, and Milkshape as a combo. If you get blender, all you need MS3d for is as an exporter and importer, blender will have everything else you need.
Blender has everything from vertex-vertex face making, to high-polygon multires mesh sculpting, and even boolean tools.
It is free, so don't start to panic.

Lithunwrap works best, so get that. If you can't, ask me, and i'll send it.

If you just jump a google search for Lithunwrap, you'll get nothing but Ultimate Unwrap which costs money. Try Sourceforge, or using google and at the end of the search, press -ultimate.
(It would look like this: Lithunwrap -ultimate).

You don't use a 2d imaging program for creating models, yet only texturing them.

Gimp 2.0 is very good, and is free. [url]www.gimp.org[/url]

There is an entity creating tool on the main FPSC page =-).

If you need more programs, just run through Sourceforge, it may take a few downloads to get something stable, but I have gotten some pretty amazing stuff.


Note:
When you first get blender, it will look insane, like you just entered 3ds Max PROFESSIONAL VERSION for extra professional pros.

Find the Blender wiki called "Blender Noob to Pro". After you run through that, blender will seem more basic then Milkshape.

Once you spend a day or two learning how to use blender, all you will need milkshape for is for rescaling and rotating the models to match FPSC, and as an importer/exporter.

The only problem with blender, is that it's menu doesn't suit alot of people, because it seems very hard to use. Once you go through the wiki, and learn the controls, again, blender will seem basic.

I use Ultimate Unwrap 3D.It costs money so if you are not sure about this get the free stuff...
Blender or Wings 3D.
The Gimp or there is a free version of Deep Paint and some people use Dogwaffle or whatever it is called.
The aforementioned entity maker.
UV Mapper is free as well.

Low cost stuff:
Milkshape (which is what I use for most of my modeling because I can animate the models with it as well).
Ultimate Unwrap 3D.
Paint Shop Pro
ECS Pro

I am going to lock this for the usual reason...namely a search would have found all this for you and it is pushing other threads down the page.
Keith will probably pop in and post the susal list of available stuff like he always does...but you could search for that too.
I think you might find the list in the stickies.
Remember,the search box is your best friend.
If I am looking for something I search before I do anything else.
Then i don't have to post and wait for an answer.
