It's like asking someone to teach you to speak using text. We can give you the tools, but the works all up to you.

You can use GIMP to create textures for you models.

If you're new to modeling, then ANY modeling program will seem difficult to you.

No, I mean you have to press keys to do certain stuff, I used it for like, 2 years, but never made anything big. I loved the way it never had shading errors, no matter how weird your model, one of the features 3ds max lacks...

I've used 3DS Max 9 and 2009, and smoothing errors have ruined at least 5 of my models.

That isnt TRUE modelling, so to speak. Although it can spurn out quality stuff with a LOT of work, it isnt a PROPER modeller. It's a building architecture designer which is best used as a mapper if it's games you're looking to do.

Travis, if you're serious about getting into modeling, then I would strongly recommend that you download Blender and learn from there. Blender is FREE, and it's capabilities are on par with 3D Studio Max (which costs $3,000+). Google sketchup might have a more user-friendly interface, but keep in mind the most skilled 3D modelers in the world are limited by the capabilities of the software they're using. Taking a week or two to become familiar with Blender will be well worth the quality difference you'll see in your models.

Every custom model I make for FPS Creator is done with Blender, and textured using GIMP. You can take at look at my posts to see more screenshots of some of the models I created using Blender and GIMP. The model below took me less than an hour to model and texture (thanks to Blender's hotkeys, and GIMP'S easy-to-use layout):






Here are a few links to get you started with Blender (if you choose to):

You can also use GIMP to create custom HUDS for your games. I created a tutorial to make HUDS using GIMP here, if you ever wanted to take a look at it:

Perhaps look in a tutorial? I'd be patient, in fact, if you want someone to help you all the way through making the actual model, you can post in the 3D Chat board. Then when you have the model we people over here can help you get it into FPSC.

No it's not. Split the view in Blender and change one of the windows to the UV/Image editor. Open your texture in this window. In the model view, select the model in edit mode and press U to unwrap after you mark the seams. This creates the UV for the model. In the image window, move the UV coodinates around your texture until you get it mapped to your model the way you like.

When I said making the model, I meant modeling the mesh and texturing it.

Try TrueSpace, it has a great interface for newbs. Blender is free as is TrueSpace but very hard to be efficient when your main goal is not to be a modeler. Trust me and get TrueSpace, I use Blender for UVunwraping but thats it, not worth much more if you ask me. Comes with .X exporter that actually works good and no python script errors to deal with. Anything made for free is usually not very user friendly. TS is free now but was once a $300 program until Microsloth bought it out.

The third post from the top in index is where you want to find out how to post in the store.

Which program did you end up using? Lets see a pic of what you made.
