Title: TrueSpace alternatives?
Post by: aldo_14 on May 17, 2001, 11:00:00 am
Are there any alternatives to TrueSpace 1 out there for texturing ship models that don't cost loadsa cash?  I've tried the TS3+ demos, but they don't allow you to sav, and I'm getting really annoyed  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/spineyes.gif) at my textures being warped.

Any help would be great, cheers!

Quite frankly, I don't think there are any free alternatives.

You could use milkshape (very cheap) and convert with 3d exploration. Other than that I'm not sure...

What exactly is milkshape?  I've heard of it in connection to Half-Life mods on the VBB, but I don't know what it is exactly.

Also, how cheap is very cheap?

or try Bad Thing sites.

My recommendation is 3Dstudio MAX.
Lightwave 6 is also good..
or if you feel advanced, try softimage XSI or Maya3 Unlimited.

No Bad Things here.

And Jabu... we're all smart enough to use our own judgement (in the most part).

Alrighty then... I look back and I realise I should have had the brains to realise this. Whoops  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/spineyes.gif)
Ah wells, I hope there are some Free, Legal programs out there waiting to be discovered...

and how do you think all those professional artists start out?

they use w*r*z

its not a problem as long as you don't start making money out of it.

Anyway..i suppose i'd better shut up about it before someone clobbers me on the head.
