How do you make you own ship?

[Mr-X]

Hey all,

Just wondering, how do you all make your own ships? What programs do you use apart from G Max and Cinema 4?

Now i would also like to know how a program in which you can build stuff for in other games. (eg. Command and conquer general units.)*command and conquer generals relies on ppl to make their own units to keep the game going and evolving without the help of actual game makers*

i use Gmax to create my own models from scratch,

but if you want to edit/modify certain ships/objects already in game you'll need certain programs the Double shadow has made.

Tools

Doubleshadow's DBOX2 - import/export body and scene files to 3ds max/gmax
Doubleshadow's X2BC - decompilation of BOB files and compilation of BOD files
Doubleshadow's X3 Editor - edit game files and create mods
Doubleshadow's X3 ModManager - unpack game files and manage .cat/.dat files [Instructions for Use]

you can get a decent Gmax tutorial from (Bottom of turbosquid webpage)
Turbosquid.com


cheers
