Hi:



I am new to FPSCR - I have previously done some 2D game development in Unity. My background is in programming as opposed to model creation, etc. Can someone recommend a good (reasonably easy to use) program to do some modeling (both static models and eventual characters) for FPSCR. I have only looked on this forum - can't see where this has been asked before - if so please direct me to the forum link. I know of some - Milkshape 3D, Blender - advantages/disadvantages in terms of using with FPSCR.



Thanks

I would go with blender for your meshes, as it is free and a perfectly good modeler as well as having directx export. When you are ready to do characters I recommend fragmotion, You can merge an fpsc skeleton easily with it onto the mesh you made with blender, and do your vertex weighting in there.

FROGS!

Or you can skip blender altogether and do the whole thing with Fragmotion.

Yes Yankee,



Fragmotion is a terrific program IMHO, and you can try it for free. Actually, you can use it for free but there's a really annoying little flag that keeps popping up if you don't buy and register.



I've been using it since it was v0.8 and it was $20... worth every penny.

Can't find it easily on Fragmotions website, but is the only version sold, a commercial license? So I can sell any models/games created with it?
