Questions before I begin...
So since I rediscovered the wickedness that is the FSO universe I have been itching to do some simple modding. I used to be decent at FRED'n so I am going to try some simple ship modelling. I have read up on it but alot of it is over my head lol.

I have 3DS Max 2010 and PS CS4 as well as PS Essentials 7(never use it). I downloaded the POF Constructor Suite 2.

I need to start off with something retardedly simple. I simple wanna make a borg cube.

Goal is to render it in max (make a cube whoopy! lol) - texture it in cs4(no clue) - add some subsystems, fighterbay and some weapons in the pofcs2(no clue). I don't even wanna try glow maps at this point.

Is there anything else I need like any plugin or program?

I have yet to find a simple walkthough on how to do all that. I seen the texturing walkthough - most helpful and impressive. I used to edit the tbls in notepad - I take it the pofcs2 does that now?

Any advice or help would be welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you.

Table editing is still done with notepad.

PCS is used to edit .pofs.
