How to make Meshes?

Post by Gustavo6046 »

I already made some meshes, but almost all are malfunctioning because Meshmaker is unstable and can't make mesh animations. Anyone know other way?
NOTE: I didn't found a very good forum to put this in, so move it if needed.

If you want animated Meshes, you will need an external 3D Modelling programme. The most frequently used ones are Maya and 3ds Max, though pretty expensive. The free alternative (but less handy) would be Blender. All programmes need to get used to, of course. Especially animating takes a huge amount of time. And you might have problems importing your meshes. Good luck anyway! :tongue:

Can I use Unity or Google SketchIt? I'm getting Blender now, I'm poor.

Blender is a mighty tool and they improved the user interface a lot.

Perfect! This way I can make new meshes for a new melee weapon for FF such that it replaces the Chainsaw. The 'Butcher Knife'!
