What program do you use?

Med

Ok, my advice to you is download something like the anim8tor or milkshake or similar and read their online tutorials.

but i like my med lol

Lol, then you will love the others

You won't find any modeling tool with the name milkshake!

I use MED very often, but I'm learning to work with blender, although I'm still faster with MED.

What sort of models do you wanna create? And, is it only about modeling? Or about rigging, animating, texturing, too?

Damn firefox spell check :s

Just in case you spent time looking for milkshake :S here is a link to milkshape

just modeling 4 now

I may stick with maya i am buying it next month

i do paid tutoring, email me if your interested. my email is lostclimategames|at|yahoo|dot|com

EDIT: also forgot to add, I charge 6.50 per hour.

If you are a beginner and you are only used to MED then you should not switch to one of the complicated modelers out there. Maya is very expensive and complex. You can learn with free software like Blender or Truespace much more. You get enough tutorials. There are even fantastic books about modeling, animating and rendering in Blender.

Better go step by step.

And then, if you know what you need and what you miss you have a better inside to judge the commercial tools. I can assure you, there are better and cheaper ones compared to Maya, offering better uv-tools, sculpting and 3d-painting.

this is what i can do in med but i want to do better

Use 3Ds max .

Don't use it, see my post above.

Use it!

Cowabanga, could you please stop to spam here around. If you have a good reason for your comments then please write it down, explain yourself but comments made of 1-2 words dont help anybody.

I explained in detail why I would not recommend an 5 thousand dollar application to someone who is used to work in MED.

I'm spamming??

Yeah i have a good reason:

3Ds max is easy, cool and powerful modelling tool.
Just open the manual and read the tutorial then you'll be the best in modelling.

How many modeling tutorials did you read in your life time?

You can also look into the handbook of Modo, Lightwave, XSI, Blender and you will be impressed of the features, the structure, the power.

Max is old and some other tools are better. You can do better modeling in Modo. You can add details better in Modo, ZBrush, Mudbox. You cannot paint in 3d except you are using Modo or Bodypaint.

Do you see the point? Max is getting old, it was good 10 years ago. And it still is good for standard polygon modeling and rendering. But there are a lot of areas where it lacks.
With this in mind, it is too expensive. You can get similar modeling, animating and rendering tools (like Lightwave) for a fraction of this price or even for free (Blender, Truespace).

OK, give me some reasons for Lightwave, XSI and Blender. Because maybe (i said maybe) Maybe, I'll buy another Modelling program.

BTW, Am i a spammer?

Truespace is free?? from when??

omg. you again are one of those who can afford max? but want us to donate for your pro edition?? great...

I already told, that LW, XSI and Blender are similar polygon modelers with ability to do animation and rendering. Blender even has sculpting. LW is more robust and XSI is just professional. They are all similar to Max but less expensive.

Truespace is free since Microsoft bought it.

I called you a spammer because many of your posts consists of only 1 or 2 words like "awesome". You can see it easily if you watch your posting history.

My money is limited, i've bought 3Ds max from 2 years ago... and i need to upgrade to pro...



Yeaaaaaaah! i'll download it . Bye Bye 3Ds max, and Hi Hi Truespace .

Darkraven1, continuous to use Med, it is very powerful when we know it well (Ok, are missing some improvements). Why try to pay for another program while Med is free?
Your model in the screenshot is very good. To become better, read some tutorials on the methods and tips of complex modelling. Sincérement I do not think that you need professor, only practice and attempts. At your level, the improvement will come by practising and by trying to make more complex models.

yes, but gandalf, what should he do for advanced texturing and normal mapping techniques? and what about speed of modeling? MED is very inefficient with button placement, views etc. you can get the job done but at the expense of time and effort.



what does payment have to do with anything, just about any free modeler out there is much better than MED. Look at Blender or Wings 3d, both of them are amazing compared to med.

w^ Raven. I can give you a little bit of advice on this matter, since I went through (and posted) the same thing only a couple few months ago. I started modeling in WED and MED after I bought the program, but wasn't happy with what I could do. So, I made a topic to hire a tutor to teach me modeling and texturing.

Lostclimate took me up on the offer, and has been teaching me for the past few months on using GIMP to create textures, and Blender to create models. I had the same train of thought at first as well; "I want to stick with MED and WED." But, I was persuaded to take the advice of my tutor, and learn to use Blender. After about 2 weeks of tutoring from LostClimate (about three two hours lessons a week, and practicing on my own time), I went from knowing nothing about modeling with Blender, to making these:





Hospital Gurney (my first model, with lostclimate's help):


Now, try this with MED, --UV Map the model, apply baked lighting, and add a normal map :



Walker Model (my first model made without tutor):
Time to make: Less than 1 hour.


Low-Poly Health Medicine Entity
Time to make & texture: less than 10 minutes




Hospital Bedtray (based off the model in SH Homecoming):
Time to make: Less than 1 hour.




Hospital Bed (Made earlier today before work, in about an hour, lolz--not done yet, going to finish later tonight.)

Anyway, from someone that thought the exact same way as you, GIVE BLENDER A TRY. Once you learn how to use it, you'll basically have a MAYA/3DS Max modeling software, AND $3000 in your pocket (because it's free ) Hopefully, this helps you out...and can convince you to let go of MED, and give BLENDER a try!

Sorry to but in, but LC what programs can you teach, pm me please

I was totally wrong. Again Hi Hi 3Ds max, and Bye Bye Truespace .

Lol Cowabanga....good one

I like the high end modellors but they are too expensive so I use MED, the ultimate in character modelling software available tee ooh dee a y!
Seriosly, MED is a good choice if you are seriouse about commercialisation and cant afford the big name apps, whY/
Because no matter how many times you run a model mesh thru convertors, the essential format of the original mesh is still within the bounds of the original modeller used.
A MAX or MAYA file will always look like a MAX or MAYA file!
Its easy for the parent companies to check models to see what prog was used by simply analyzing the mesh structure, thats if your game is sooo red hot though otherwise, its not worth the time and effort BUT......the capability to be discovered using programs for commercial gain that you have not paid for is THERE.

So use MED for quick prototyping and move on to others when you have the basics, thats what I think
