<div class="IPBDescription">Nowhere else to put this...</div>I want to learn how to model, what programs would i need? were do i get them? Who can teach me?
Download a trial version of milkshape, or gmax. If you can't figure those out on your own (some can, alot can't) then either give it up, or take a class, or buy a book or 5.
<a href="http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/" target="_blank">GMax</a> and <a href="http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/" target="_blank">MilkShape</a> are both free. Even though MilkShape is a trial, it is fully useable after it's needed registration date. Gmax is just free.

As far as skinning, I don't have much experience... but if you're looking for a graphics program like Photoshop, try <a href="http://www.gimp.org" target="_blank">The Gimp</a>. It's just as powerful, and freeware.
Gah i give up on modeling, where can i learn how to use codes like that c++ stuff... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Uh, it isn't time to try to learn how to code if you give up something you were dead set on after seeing how much downloading it requires. These things take commitment; I reccomend a nice, beefy <a href="http://www.amazon.com" target="_blank">Book.</a>
First of all, this does not apply to NS. Second of all, it isn't about modelling exactly, but how to get into it. Third of all, this was posted before the new forums were put up.
Indeed, the web tutorials on C++ that i've found are highly disorganized. A systematic approach that good book would give is what I'm asking my dad to find.

Bah, go look for some tutorials, that's enough for me.
How does it help you model?

If you REALLY want a good modelling program get MilkShape.
Oh, and this was started before the new forums.
