Question: 3d program
OK, I'm a totally newbie at this, but what kind of program is the easiest to learn? What kind of programs work best for making units?
Is there any free programs that will work, hate to spend a lot of money on a program I might not master anyhow... I believe there are "own 3d unit programs" for some other games, is there possible to make something... if someone is skilled enough offcourse? Perhaps Firaxis should do it... |

In my signature is a tutroial on how to use the very easy Rhinoceros 2.0.
You have to animate frame by frame however, as opposed to the "skeleton style" animation techniques of other programs. |

As Neomega said Rhinoserus is propably the most user friendly program
I personally use a freeware program called moray, it's not really user friendly, atlesat not in the beginning, but it's not a trial program |

I'm using 3d studio MAX. I'm working on a dragon unit now. I have made the model, but I have trouble to master the IK animation, so believe me, it's complicated. Don' try to make units in MAX.

Thanks a lot for all advices, have downloaded Rhino and started to make the duck... Can't realy figure out the "layers" bit though... Does it work the same way as in Photoshop?
It's a trial program, and will let me save 25 times... So I might download moray later on, but is it similar to Rhinoceros? I was actually thinking of buying Rhino until a saw the price!! |
