    As far as I know, 3D Studio Max is a good place to start....

      hmm well as far as i know..3d studio max costs a fortune...:?:

      i already answered u on msn before u posted this..but anywho...i remember years ago when i did some skins, mapping, etc for half life..there were quite a few tutorials, and informative sites linked to from www.planethalflife.com
      obviously these are for half life..but, half life, bein an older game, would be much easier to learn to model for than newer games...there are also some freeware programs u can get...u'll have to find them urself though, there will most likely be links from the sites u find at PHL..

      all of the planet**** sites have links to these kinds of resources...

      planetquake
      etc

          I believe 'milkshape' is also used for creating weapon models for various games.

              When Half-Life came out it came with a map editor named Worldcraft. There are many tutorials on it. I used it to make a simple 3 room map. It was really easy once you have set it up.

                  Oh, he meant player models. Sorry, I think of everything as a 3d model.

                            Blitz basic isn't too bad either, had a bit of a fiddle with it not long back.
