What tools do you guys use to make ships for freespace?  I'm interested in learning how.  Where do I need to go to start?

Thanks in advance.

See the wikki/numerous other threads.

That entry is no where near detailed enough. It only mentions a couple of programs and I know for a fact that I copied my  FAQ's guide into the wiki at one point.

Aha!

The information in the modelling section of my FAQ should also be of use to you.

BTW:




It's great to see new modder's entering the community.
If you get the hang of things soon enough, post some screens in here or in the art thread.
Then  join a project team and help finish off a mod.

I can't edit the Wiki.  I want to update the modeling FAQ but it just keeps prompting me to sign in.

I'd add a link to that from the modeling/modding page.  And if you're doing that, PM me so I can send you the changes I want to make as well.

Yeah, that's the major flaw of the wiki, everyone gets the same bug. I think someone was working on fixing it.

Otherwise it would be filled with 2x the content.

I've edited it before, so I don't know what the problem is now.  Oh well.

Thanks for all the info guys (and the beam, Grug ).  I won't be able to start modding for awhile, but I'll post some stuff if I ever get going.
