AND
How to I bring those models/textures into FPS Reloaded?

I am not sure how to put them in FPS reloaded
but there's quite a few packages, for 3d modelling i'd recommend Blender - since it's completely free AND you can sell the things you make with it.

Now, i'm not sure if you do plan on making money on this, otherwise you could get the student version of 3ds max, which is also free - but you cant sell what you make.

as for textures: Photoshop if you got some money to spend, otherwise i'd suppose Gimp is alright. not sure but I Think Gimp allows you to sell the stuff as well.

Hi there.
As Quik suggest, Blender is a good start. Nowaday this program works as good as 3DsMax. You can get tutos in youtube. Wrapping and giving texture is easy, and you can export to .x with the exported include. Last Blender 2.70_R2 .


Cheers.

Agreed. Blender is hard to beat for a 100% free program!

Anim8or is best, especially after watching that video up above. I got lost in the first 2 minutes. How many buttons did he press? Scary!!!

I second Anim8or. For simple things like buildings I'd suggest Mapscape. For everything else I use sculptris to model, 3d coat to UV, and meshlab to reduce polys. Fragmotion is great if you want a cheap animation program that can convert to multiple formats.
But I also have no idea about fpsc reloaded.

Forgot to add, Photoshop is second to none for creating textures, but it's pretty expensive, and I suggest finding an old version as they've switched to a subscription model.

I could make that castle in Blender without watching the tutorial; but I simply do not have a need to do it. There comes a point in ones Blender 'career' where there isn't much you could not model in Blender.
