Hi there, me again. I was just wondering whether using Blender as an alternative to GMax would work. I am getting a bit bored of using outdated tech to power 3D modelling. Any links to tutorials or any tips and suggestions would be very helpful!

Thanks, this community has been very helpful with my previous attempts at creating things in Halo Custom Edition!

i haven't bothered to try blender, but i think it's UBE chief (guy on the forum)
he says it's great and had recommended it to a few people.
maybe check their hompage, forum etc out to see what you think of the tools, interface
and stuff.

Now with the new real-time cycles rendering engine coming up, Blender is pretty much up to par with Autodesk.






It's still in the experimental stage but you can still download it from here

ah i was wrong then about thinking it was UBE chief that was the guy who would know more,
that plate of donuts is some fancy work, only when i maximized it could i see the tell tale signs that it was a textured model.

Why'd you think it was me? O.o

no reason, just couldn't remeber for sure who it was that posted all the links in on blender
on a thread with a similar question.

Thanks for all your messages! Does anybody know how to create JMS data with Blender, such as an exporter?
