Hi guys, ive been looking at some of these mod posts (halo mod and stargate invasion mostly) and im really interested in how you guys create your models. could you give me a program or tutorial on how to make these things plz.
read the top pinned post ie https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/318314
Maya, 3DS max and i forget what the other modeling one was, think it was XSI or something like that. are all modeling programs you can use to create models for this game. the finer details of what you do to make a model that can be used by the game itself will be explained in one of the pined topics that deal with modeling.
I use wing3d... little (7mb download), simple to use and free... cannot work with big model, limit a little over 50000 poly, who is already to much for sins...
Work on Mac, Linux and Windows OS... can model, create the UV and make the template for texturing...
thanks for the links guys. i just want to be able to make my own ships models and put them into a game. i no its never as simple as that but hey.
All the models in Sins were made with XSI, and the converter/importer tools work with XSI models. So while you can use any 3d modeling program to make them, I would recommend the XSI Mod Tool, it's free from softimage and works wonderfully for making models for mod projects. They have video tutorials there also. The download page was down during the holidays, I'm not sure if it's up yet..
when i go to download XSI, it ask me what my intened use ise, i dont no what 1 to choose. XNA PC or VALVE SOURCE. does it realy matter which 1 i download???
Huh, that's new. Just choose XNA-PC. It's probably for their research purposes, or whatever
