Good 3d modling software?

[Naku_vamp]

Ok im new to modding and im kinda starting with Bf2 just to play around a bit because i Like the BF2 editor and figure i will catch on to it easier

anyway im doing fine with level stuff but i want to start making my own objects vehicles and only thing iv heard was good and compatible with the editor is 3d max studio which the cheapest i found it happens to be like 160 bucks and after that around 640 O.o....so...any suggestions (i am willing to pay for one but thats quite alot of money)

Maya isn't too bad, I've played with it before but, provided you can find a way to use it, you might want to try going with OSS and get Blender here.

Maya and 3DS are the big ones. If you don't know anything about 3D modelling, check out SketchUp. Some really cool things can be made from it, and it's easy as all get out.

Re: Good 3d modling software?

I was just looking at google's Sketchup public directory and the thought crossed my mind "Can this thing only produce cell-shaded designs? Everythign in there looks cel-shaded, pretty nice details, but still cell-shaded.

3ds max is probably the best one to take , how you get it is up to you but i would say max 8/9 is the best one to take .

Go pirate 3ds max, or maya 8... that's what I did.
