ImTheDarkcyde ¯\(º_o)/¯	for a program, go with blender or milkshape3d -- The only worthwhile standalone on modDB. beyond the thunderdome

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	There are lots of articles related to Quake III modding, and a lot of them refer to Milkshape, not blender. I'd stick with Milkshape as the exporters are easy to use. In addition - use the links pages here and you'll be fine; Planetquake.com

Mauvebib Swallow My Pride	GMAX is a good choice. Free, powerful and with support for q3. Not to mention the literally thousands of MAX tutorials that will work for it... -- Defeat in Detail 2 - Standalone RTS Game Planetquake.com Moddb.com

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	Which is a bit of a bastard really. I'm glad I've still got my copy. I'm sure there'll be serial keys for those out there willing to find them....

I'm sure it's still available from third party sites. And yes, it is brilliant. The interface of the market leader for free.

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	You can download it 3rd party - but you can't register to get a serial key anymore...

leilei The person who doesn't like anything	another one bites the dust, they say actually make that two, since the autodesk/alias merge, no MayaPLE either! That requires registration too. Gotta love these "free" apps eh? Soon enough, only Wings and Blender will be the only free modeling tools -- < insert subject games here >

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	That's what it looks like to me anyway. At least Milkshape is still cheap, although let's face it, it doesn't like hi-poly very much. It's also a question of how long will it STAY cheap?

leilei The person who doesn't like anything	However, how long will it stay the 1.x version, with the horrible ui and the missing features such as quads and vertex weighting? It's practically the same program it was 5 years ago. -- < insert subject games here >

ambershee Nimbusfish Rawks	For as long as it's financially affordable?
