So a little more about me...

MSN the.gekkota@gmail.com
Email (same)
Mobile No (you wish)

Software - 3ds max 6 / Power booleans v 2.5 / Adobe Photoshop 7

I have been modelling for six months, in need of advice and help in places, i can Map and draw my own textures, i can also convert to any SFC format.

Im not brilliant.. but im learning

I serve in the british army. and i love trek, i own the original dvd's for TOS, TNG, DS9, TAS, MOVIES... - I need ENT, VOY... I own Nearly every trek game ever released on a PC except for Judgment rights, cos im not paying £100 + on EBAY for it

Im using £2800 pounds worth of alienware laptop (in green

) Spec is stupidly good, and awsome for games and modelling.. so im very happy with it

Please just call me Geks or Gekko, I have a large tattoo of a gekko on my arm and thats why I chose the name

Thats me naked and in the open... I look forward to knowing more about you guys in the future, joint projects and so on

Any new work is always welcome here as well as posters.

Questions can be a bit difficult to answer at times as there tends to be multiple ways to do things, but they are welcome as well.
Never worry about your abilities compared to others, some ppl have been here longer than dirt and have developed those skills over time. We all started somewhere on our way to where ever.

Hello all.. Im new, I can make very basic models, hope to share them with you.

software I use is.

For textures:- The GIMP v 2.2 (Free)
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=gimp-win&filename=gimp-2.2.14-i586-setup-1.exe&use_mirror=ovh

For Modelling:- Discreet GMAX (Free)
http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

Additional Moddeling & Conversion: Milkshape3D 1.7.10 US $25
http://chumbalum.swissquake.ch/ms3d/download.html - currently version 1.8.1
http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax - tempest utility
http://www.richdiesal.map-craft.com/tutorials/vol_cm.html - conversion tutorial

(basically you make the model in gmax (which is just like 3ds max but free) save the model, open up the tempest plugin, open your model then export to md3, you can then import into milkshape)

So I get the ability to use really powerfull software, for the measly fee of $25.

Hope to speak to you all in the future, and its nice to be here

Great work-a-round there. Welcome, if you have any Milkshape questions or SFC modding questions feel free to ask me. For the other software, there are plenty of users with lots of experience. You have a living encyclopedia of SFC modding right here in the form of the SFC community. I look forward to seeing your work . . be sure to post lots of pics!
