OK...I have the 3D Exploration demo cuz I'm using it for renders but how do you make MODs? Can I use 3DE or do I need something liek Truespace?

any number of places, if you're new, i suggest you play around with truespace after you make the models.  I suggest useing 3d studio max to make the models and truespace to texture them.

Thunder emerges from a bright gate of light which closes behind him.[/i]

Heads up to people, that means an0n and Corsair. All talk of warez software will cease as of now. I'm getting tired of having to check all the threads on the off chance it's being discussed. This is the most recent of several times it's been mentioned recently and an0n has been at the centre of it each time, suffice to say my patience wears thin. The subject is to be considered off limits - I may be being harsh here but it's really not on, if you want to talk about this kind of thing do it over email - if it happens on this forum there will be actions taken.

Consider yourselves warned.

hmmm, now would be a good time to point out that others before have been banned from the HLP forums for discussion of such things.  It would be wise to never discuss them again here (just a thought).   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Good advice..

I like to think so, it's not that I have an in-built thing against warez. But some people just don't seem to realise that this is a public forum and that the staff of the site get in trouble if 3dap notice warez is being openly discussed/links traded etc... on the forums. It's very simple - just don't walk about it and everything will be fine. Talk about it and the almight hellfire of my anger shall fall upon you.

Sounds reasonable  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

It's kinda taken a break - I'm working on a few other things in both real life, HLP and other - but it'll be done  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I get most of my productivity software (3DS MAX, PSP, VS, etc.) from the IMF (dad works there) library for free, and it is legal too, since any of the staff and their "chosen guests" are allowed to use the stuff for their own purposes.
