milkshape or 3d max

[phatbear]

i wanna start creating some models
not really for games or anything
just for practise

i was wondering which is easier to learn
3ds max or milkshape3d

i already got 3ds max n ive done a few tuts in it
i just get bored of reading the tuts
i always refer back to them if i get stuck tho

im guessing that milkshape3d is for free
where would i get it from

www.milkshape3d.com and no, its not free. You can get a free trial but it runs out in 20 or 30 days cant member. I would have to say that milkshape is easyer to learn. If your really new at modeling I think you should start out at milkshape.

if i find it easier ill try find a full version sumwhere :laff:

I prefer for you to use milkshape if you haven't dealt with modeling before. It's a great beginners program *not to put you down or anything, but it's usually what people start off with including myself.*

http://milkshape3d.com
Free to try
$25.00 to buy.

I hope this isn't advertising since i am no way involved with chuumblin *i am aware that i have mispelled the companies name", but if it is, remove the link if neccessary.

you can also try wings 3d, IMO its one of the best free 3d modelling tools out

 

[Iyce Da Kidd]

Yes, I have forgot about wings. It's what my friend used and his outcome was substansial, although I've never used wings before. If you need any help on 3dsmax, I'm a p.m away.

yay my outcome was substantiablablah...

anyway, yeah, wings is probably easiest next to milkshape.

 

[phatbear]

thanks guys

im just working on the 2d refs that im gonna use
i hand drew them
but i dont like them 100%
so it might still b a while b4 i start the 3d model

plus i can get advice from my mate who uses 3d max
but i will contact u if i get caught on sumthing

there is alway's lightwave, i have it but i don't get it.
o well, i'm still a n00b in modeling so that can be it.

 

[dynamic`]

i really suggest max or lightwave if your really serious about modeling, they may be a little harder to getinto but the end results are way worth it

 

[sirken]

lightwave might be much easer i'm gona switch from milkshape to lightwave and it looks easyer i just didn't get it at 1st

 

[DragonDude]

I'd recommend Milkshape, especially if you're just starting out.

Yea go milkshape. Im way better with 3dmax but i took a break (well, my 3dmax dont work :\) and tryed to start basics with milkshape. I use mesh editing so my milkshape models....look like crap compared to my 3dmax models, BUT it was still a good learning experience. But as soon as you start getting good get the hell out. Milkshape sucks >;o

Ya.. Milkshape is kewl.. even if u put serial.. it still ****s up after the 30days.. so thats when u gota go in the regestry.. and start deleting stuff... but if u dont know what to look for, best not to play in there... but if ur like me, and u like to play with random FIleS! o_0 then go right ahead



little hint.. its only 3 little things to delete PPPPPPPPPPP

ofcource?? I never really succeeded.. so I could be wrong.. could be 3000000 things to delete
