unfortunately it isn't really easy at all..
-first you need to have 3dmax (a program which licence cost about 3000 USDLS)
-then you need to learn to use 3dmax (acording several people...that would take weeks to months)
-then you have to do the actual unit in 3d max :smash: , and that takes some time too
you have to create the texture file, CAS files and also the sprites
not to mention making new UI cards , so... it isnt easy at all
here's a link that contains modding tutorials http://rtw.heavengames.com/rtw/mods/...ls/index.shtml
and here's the actual "create new units" tutorial http://rtw.heavengames.com/rtw/mods/...on/index.shtml were you can learn to edit existing units , wich.. isn't that hard... at least with colors
so... you might as well add units from other mods , I can help you do that :yes:,
although I could be wrong in something...:sweatdrop: check those tutorials they're really interesting :medievalcheers:
i have to pay too?
zomg! :wall:
and i'll try to edit one rather than create from scratch, and i'll make it based on my own ego
:egypt:
:laugh4:
i seriously doubt that any RTW modders have had to pay for 3dsmax...
I think that too
:whip:
Ditto, but we'll leave that to your descretion, I'm sure you're aware of the rules on warez etc :p
If you didn't want to take the 3DS road, Milkshape is a simpler program, but this makes it easier to use and a lot easier on the wallet, probably worth a look if its just going to be for RTW modelling.
Cheers
