RE: model editor

You need to have a 3d program like autodesk 3ds max, or autodesk Maya, or Blender, or any other 3d program to be able to make models or 3d characters

RE: model editor

Another thread in the wrong forum sub-section.

I recommend registering as a student on the Autodesk website and either downloading 3DS Max or Maya 2011 (NOT 2012 or 2013). I use Maya and it works great. But using either is more of a preference. Maya is a bit better with animations and exporting them, but both basically do the same when it comes to models, again, it's all preference really.

RE: model editor

I like to use 3ds max because I find it easier to use, I find it more user friendly personally, but like Statyk it really is preference for which one you are more comfortable with.

RE: model editor

I use 3D's max aswell, I find it way more comfortable to work with, however if you're going to start modeling only because of Amnesia I suggest you use Maya, the animation tools and such are pretty much the same, however 3D's max has exporting problems that we have currently not found a way to work around, so it would be way more simple to start using Maya if you're just doing it for Amnesia.

If not, then I suggest you register for an Autodesk student license and try out both Maya and Max, I'd suggest you stay as far away from Blender as you possibly can.

RE: model editor

Blender works fine with the exception of armatures (though, this should change in HPL3). Then again, none of my animations have been working the way i want them to, no matter how many times i redo and export, from Maya.
