The Programs

[scribex]

Hey, I was just wondering what modeling programs you guys use.
At the moment I use 3ds max 6 but I find this abit boring and long winded are there any other programs worth buying?

(p.s tried milkshape don't like it)

Thanks,

Or lightwave. I know a lot of professionals who like Lightwave better than just about anything.
My personal favorite is Zbrush 2 but it's not really designed to create player models though. I also use 3dsmax and Lightwave.

another thing, not to sound rude but if u find it boring and w.e maybe you should reconsider modeling, or just stick with it, maybe its an aquired taste for u

Most people here are using these. Alias Maya, Autodesk 3d StudioMax, Newtek Lightwave, Chumbalum Soft~Milkshape 3d, and ZBrush. If you would like further explanation on what they are capable of, please check the stickies. They happen to be good resources. Overall though, ZBrush, Max, and Lightwave are my personal favorites and most reasonable price wise. Good luck in choosing.

Or people could use Blender 3D because that is free and actually quite good as well
