Texture/Model program

Hey guys, what program(s) do yo use to create custom textures and models?

I want to get into creating my own textures and such but I have no idea where to start. I do know that I need a program to convert normal images into the proper file types like .mat and others.

Thanks!

RE: Texture/Model program

Blender is the best free program I'd say. 3ds max and maya cost a lot. When you buy them that is.

Thanks mate I'll tinker with that! Big Grin
Hey MrBigzy I got Blender and it's pretty awesome. It's version 2.56 beta that I'm using.

Do you know how I would import a JPG file and create a texture with it? I've been trying to import images and stuff but it won't work. That aside, I'm having lots of fun morphing this cube Smile

RE: Texture/Model program

Use programs like gimp or paint.net to convert them to .dds.

Also, use Blender 2.49, Collada export won't be compatible with Amnesia otherwise.

RE: Texture/Model program

I'm using 3ds max and photoshop, but those are a tad expenssive.

I can recommend Blender 2.5x, and Gimp.

RE: Texture/Model program

Alright I've got Blender and GIMP, both look very interesting but Blender is insanely intimidating haha I need to spend about quite a few more hours just tinkering with it! Big Grin

Also what should I do about converting things into the proper amnesia files? I'm truly a novice at this kind of stuff, but if there's a webpage link you can post that walks me through this that'd be great!

Thanks in advance guys

RE: Texture/Model program

I believe if you download the HPL2 editor that maps are made on, in the editor suite tab (in the amnesia launcher) there is a model editor ^_^
It also comes with a particle editor if i recall.

Model Editor lets you to create custom entities or such, not new models from scratch.
