Graphic Editing Program/ 3d Editing

Decoy

First time out of the vault
Ive read a bit of the forums and havnt found any mention of graphic design programs for creating 3d models. Has anyone tried 3d max? im dling it at the moment hoping to be able to create a base frame for the characters, then placing different skins over them and taking the necessary frames from that to the files in Fallout 2. Any ideas or info would be appreciated.
 
Uhm... 3d max must be good if so many people use it, but I much more prefer Wings 3d for 3d modelling, but this one has no animation unfortunately. However for this you could try Blender. Both are free and open source programs and best of all, they are easy to use, especially Wings.

Thanks ill give that one a go, ive decided to strip all the graphics from fallout and start again(im in no rush to finish it :) i know its going to take forever to get enough graphics for just one map). Anybody know of any other's that work well? Also is there a program that directly saves to fallout's file format or can we just use a converter on the grahic files?
 
The fun part is that 3D Studio Max is so expensive that only a minority of those using it could actually afford to buy it. What that means is something you should be able to figure out on your own.
 
You could also try 'Poser' for making character models from the ground up. Poser should render people in walking animations etc... with relative ease. That being said I'm not a 3D artist so I dont really know waht I'm talking about :)
 
That being said, I can recognize Poser animations from two kilometers away.
 
Ask the publisher for a 3DMAX demo download link, you'll get a 30days working complete version with character studio and a load of tutorials...great to check out and learn!!!

Friend of mine came back from there a few months back and showed me some awesome pictures of the place.

I always wanted to include it in an Aussie mod for fallout 2 but never got around to developing a story for it.
 
Why not do a MadMax themed mod ?


Have it be like mad max, but differnt (to account for the FO setting)
 
That's sort of what I had in mind, but don't see myself having the time for it for quite a while.
 
Well at the moment im not making a mod, im just stripping fallout and learning things the hard way(long but fun :D - i love pain) - tho the mad max does sound interesting - spec since it was made here :) cept for the scripting that is.... oh god im hating the scripting
