I just decided a few minutes ago I want to make models; not only, but also for Rebellion. All I need is everything it takes to start. I built a very simple Star Destroyer in 3DSMax a year ago, but I couldn't put any textures on it, so i gave up.

 

I don't have 3Ds anymore, so first of all: Which program can I use? Are there any free ones?

That's a good start

 

Download and read the second version of my modelling tutorial, all your questions should be answered there

Got it! Thanks a lot, mask!

 

Can't wait to try this out.

Now wait a few months and maybe some very Fishfacy models might come your way!

That seems to be the schedule of every modeller.

 

You can also download the opt23ds program from Darksaber's site and convert the XWA models in a format, you can import.

Looking at the way these models were done will give you clues to many design-questions

 

But remember not to nick the models of others without their permission, some won't mind, but others ... really don't like it (and some might just say no )

Alright, I've encountered a problem.

I've built a model in gmax and can't find a way to export it to a format any other program i have can open.

So, how do I get a gmax model into lith unwrap?

If I need to download additional programs, could you post a link, please?

 

EDIT: Okay, downloaded Milkshape for conversion. problem solved for now.
