Hi,

I am interested into creating my own models, textures, etc. Where do I begin? Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I was thinking about buying Carrara 3D Basics 2:http://www.eovia.com/products/carrara3D_basics2/carrara3D_basics.asp

I'd appreciate any advise, help, etc.

Cheers,

Milkshape is a very popular tool. Stable, organized and pretty easy to pick up as well.

Gr8! Thanks! A tutorial would be appreciated... I'm an absolute beginner (hee hee) and I absolutely LOVE FPSCreator - it's brilliant!!! I'd want to know the following:

How to customize the pre-set characters, can I do this by creating texture maps in PhotoShop? I take it that the file format for textures is BMP?

What 3d model format is compatible with FPSC? How would I go about designing one?

How to create my own scenery / enviroment (as shown on the FPSC site's gallery)?

Thanx!

You can substitute the original textures for the models in FPSC, and change them with your own. I believe FPSC uses .X for it's models, which i think Milkshape uses. If not, it probably uses .3ds which is the most common one. There is programs that "translate" the .3ds model to .x models. By scenery, do you meen the textures, or the objects?

Hi,

By scenery I am referring to aspects such as: sky, terrain, etc. I think someone (SkyCube) is selling "Alien Skies" and similar sci-fi scenery & terrain. I was wondering how to create my own.

Like I stated before, I am a complete beginner and I'm keen on getting to grips with FPSC asap!

I've downloaded Milkshape and I'd like to know how to import a character from FPSC for modification. Can anyone help?
