Need Some Advice

**Drew7** · 19 June 2009, 08:49 PM

I am very new to this site, and have spent a few hours just looking around. I need to know what program I need to use for certain tasks.

A group of others and I are creating an MMO, and I am somewhat in charge of graphics. This includes all of the 2D sprites and especially the 3D Objects and Items. I also will need to create the game characters.

So, which program would be best for 3D Model Making?

Alternatively I could use somebody who already knows how to use a 3D Graphics program.

Which game engine are you using?

**Drew7** · 20 June 2009, 05:11 AM

The person in charge of programming doesn't see the need for one yet. This hopefully is soon to change.

If you want to get your feet wet and get into it without spending any money check out Blender. http://www.blender.org/

Are there by any chance any Blender tutorials on these forums?

No Blender tutorials here, as far as I know, but googling "blender tutorials" bears fruit. Here are the ones on the Blender website. There are others at youtube.

Another free 3D program to try is Truespace 7.61

Download the Manual and the Video tutorials as well as the full installation files. A total of 306 MB so I hope you have a fast connection.

Just for your information -

The industry standard package for games 3d artwork is 3dstudio max.
If you use a freelancer to make the 3d models for you, it's likely they'll work with that.
