since this thread is about modeling, maybe someone can send Katarn a tutorial on rendering (if he doesn't make one himself) even if it is a video and he can post it at the bottom of the original post saying who made it.

Nice Tut!!

Now if you uploaded that to your xbox for halo 2 and play system link will other people that are connected with system link see the models too?

Nice stuff.

What techniques do you use to add minor details? Do you add details after creating the base of the weapon, or do you add them in while creating it with the use of insert vertex tools and such? If after, how do you do it?

This is one of the few things I'm finding difficult. I know of various ways to add details, but I'm not sure which one is the best.

Thanks for the guide. I will also be checking out that plane modeling tutorial, it looks great.

Nice tut dude.

But really i cant understand all that stuff you were talking about.

Not your fault its my fault cozi am not that smart at all this polyguns and stuff... but really i need to find some vid tuts on how to make some models... can anyone show me how to put my own models in CE please???

Click the link in my sig, and go to the download section and then the tutorial section and most of your questions shall be answered.

OKi have been using milshape for u week (im a noob i know) and ii dont know how to make the weapon im modeling look textured!
can somoene tell me how?!

So you used PhotoShop too make that?

Please tell me some Programs I need to get started.

To make the gun? he used 3ds max 6 or 7 probably. Photoshop is for 2d graphics, for the skin you might use photoshop.

max 7. Photoshop/psp are good for making skins, texporter for exporting uv maps.

Im new and I know this is probally the biggest noob question you EVER heard but where is the material editing tool?

Im just learning how to mod and skin...

Press 'M' that brings up the material editor (hotkey)
