alpha numeric characters>> I like history and naval history especialy so I liked to play games of this topic. But most of them I was not satisfied with ...there was allways something missing, if I simplify most of today games is made for comercial succes rather than for people to play and enjoy ...which is suprasingly not the same thing. So you have full market of graphicaly nice but contens poor games. Sometime I have strange feeling that developers have serious doubs about our inteligence.
I dont, so thats why I was happy when I found DB and similar engines. I thought I can make something myself to be of my taste. That was preatty naive of course but I found out that to make game or some graphical project can be actualy more fun than to play it. So for some years I do things which will probably be of no use at the end, but that dont borther me anymore
That ship project should be pirate game ..we'll see if it will be so
Mr kid>> If you install Milkshape3D or Wings3D or both you dont gona make mistake and you will for sure not fill your computer with crap. Myself I have both installed on my hardisk and in my opinion these are great programs.
There are some diferences between them however. In Wings you mostly start with some primitive object like box or cilinder and then model it to more complex shape by subdividing and extruding. Thats wery similar to real sculpturing when you start with lump of clay. Wings is great and wery easy to use (once you know controls) modeler capable of modeling nearly anything you want including high polygoon models. Its texturing capabilities are bit limited on the other hand and it lacks animation capability at all.
Milkshape is not that great modeler in my eyes, since it have limited mesh editing functions and you normaly model face by face which is OK for some boxy shapes like machines or buildings but not organic models like humans. However it have decent (not great) unwraper and is animation capable. Its good all round tool having all you need to make low poly model, unwrap and animate it. Basicly, if you have Milkshape, you dont need nothing else to make game model (well you need something to paint your texture of course). Drawback is that while it is good in all its functions it dont excel in none of them.
Wings 3D is better modeler, LithUnwrap is better unwraper and Character FX is better animator. So if you get these three you dont need Milkshape anymore. And since firsth two are free you can have something for less than half of Milkshape cost which is much better.
That doesnt mean that you should not get Milkshape, If you are beginer modeler than I can recomend it to you ...at the end you need to learn only one program instead of three and its price is fairly low.
james1980>> thanks mate
