OK No0bish question here.
I'm relatively new to the whole FS modding thing and i would like to give modeling some new fighters and stuff a try.

I've got Gmax and Metasequoia kicking around and i have access to anything free.

Don't get Cinema4D.

I can't find anything that will convert models from it acceptably. Even its own .3ds converter produces errors.

Gmax should, but it's best just to get a crack for 3ds max if you're comfortable with it  :nervous:

Use Blender. It's free, open source, powerful and you can get great models out of it. Just ask VA.

Discussion of how to get cracks for programs is forbidden on the forum, if you want to talk about it, PM. That's what he meant, tinfoil.

Vasudan Admiral's models are really quite frightening in their detail. I'm surprised he's made so many.

What about Truespace 3.2? It's free, maybe a bit older but you can export direct to .cob.
But be warned, the user interface is...interesting.

Interesting is an understatement. >.> Took me 3 hours to figure out how to model a small little drone.
