Having bough Autodesk, 3ds max 9, and eventually getting it to work on my vista, I' now trying to model my first ship! this could take a while but I'll post my updates here and let you all see how I'm getting on!

I've attached a preview of the Saucer so far

Before you proceed any further, I have to inform you that 3DS Max 9 cannot export to .mod files if you want to play your ship in SFC. Better migrate to gmax, which is free, as soon as you can.

ill be exporting into .obj into mikshape and then exporting into .mod with hardpoints and whatnot.

thanks for the reminder, though.
