What modding program is very easy to use because I SUCK a modding! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

COB-POF (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Er... I could recommend... a few. As a base prog, you need TrueSpace, since all FS models are converted from COBs, and after that, anything really compatible, which means practically nothing...
-
I should mention that I generally end up using a series of conversions covering a minimum of 4 programs, all just to get some semblance of the original in TS.

the majical program that reads you mind and determines what you would consider cool then generates it, UVmaps it and makes perfict textures for it all in half a second, it's made by Oberon king of the faries and is available for the limmeted time offer of just 1.25 human soles, it's what I use, I think Venom has a copy of it too.
if you haven't realised it yet that was a joke,
a bad one,
but a joke none the less,
the point of wich was that there are no modding tools that are easy to learn/master/use and in some cases get ahold of, but if you want to make new models for freespace you will need Truespace4.2 or higher, lithunwrap, PCS, and Paint Shop Pro/Photoshop in addition to the basic modding tools in the Dnet fs pack. I'm too lazy to get links to all these things but this is more than you probly had before I graced this thread with my devine presince and God like spelling.
------------------
Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory
-
Nah, you can use TrueSpace1 or MilkShape (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif).
-
truespace of some sort is needed at the last sage of geometry and UV development, even if you don't actualy do anything in truespace other than open apply a texture and save.
then use PCS to convert to POF and add all the POF data.

Yep no matter how easy you want it to be it never is. Whatever type of modding you intend to do will require time, effort and in most cases a certain amount of dissapointment.
If you're resolute you might make something cool though (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

That's not right!! Read the sig.

Welcome to HLP!!
Exits are to the rear and left, in case of emergency shotguns are located under the seats.

Exactly what do you want to do?
Make models?
Make missions?
Make new skins?
Make new in-game effects?
Edit table files?
Mess with new sounds?
-
Where can you get the stuff? Either shell out a hell of a lot of cash, make lots of file-sharing friends, or become temporarily useful. Sometimes, just being irritating enough gets you halfway there... I speak from experience. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Notepad.
I wonder how long before FreespaceMaster shows his true troll colors over here. The VBB has had to put up with him for a while already.

Hey we give everyone a chance here!
If he misbehaves then we'll chuck him out an airlock (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/staff/maeglamor/smileys/satan.gif)

Oh yes, and any flaming in the GTD Wolf forum will lead to me maliciously editing your posts. And the unfortunate thing about the shotguns is that the staff is equipped with unlicensed partical accelerators.

And we traveling bards of the Internet carry several thousand tons of siege gun and a Dead Frozen Goat of Justice... dangerous times to be a quasi-drifter.

Airlock? Don't pollute space! We could always let him pilot a poorly armored Vasudan deco--er AWACS ship...
Oh... Um. Hi, Setekh... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) *run!*

Table editing is still technically modding... so...
