Custom Content Mechanics - A Tutorial by Axe

Actually, that site is dead, but we have saved all the forums/tutorials
etc, and you can find them on the website in my sig, or go directly to
the custom content forums there and browse through quite a bit. 

We hope to be adding MORE tutorials, both vid capture style, and standard step by step, pic in post style as we progress.

We
are actively seeking folks to help flesh out these various tutorials or
add new ones, so if you have a mind to create a tutorial on creating
custom content, either graphic related or any other type of custom
content, we can accomodate you easily.  updated by Bannor Bloodfist

This is the best turtorial ive been following for 3ds max but it is

I have begun a new project page - social.bioware.com/project/3850/
This
project is a collection of various tips, techniques, and tutorials for
the CC creator. It is complied from various authors in the NWN Community
and is intended to serve as a repository of hard to find, useful
information.

Some of the things you'll find:
Game Configuration
Custom Content Essential Tools
Bannor Bloodfist's Tileset Window Illumination Tutorial
Estelindis' UVW Mapping Tutorial
...and much more (over 50 pages of material).
This
is a living document that is constantly changing as new information
becomes available. I have attempted to be as accurate as possible, but
make no guarantees as to the specific accuracy of any information
contained within. I invite the Community to correct, submit, and/or
ammend information as necessary. I may even convert this over to a Wiki
if enough people are interested.
The file that is available for download was written with Microsoft Word 2007.

Here is another tutorial, covering basics in Creating an object and a
tile.  Nothing fancy, but some general tips/tricks and cheats, that I
find useful when working on things in Max.  These should apply to Gmax
or 3dsMax as both offer the same sorts of options.

               Good stuff.  Might wanna add it to the official sticky at the top though, rather than just making it a thread on its own.  Better to centralize all the resources for aspiring modders.

Thanks in any case, however, for listing it altogether like that.

You know this thread keeps getting lost. 

I made a request Sticky Request Thread to see if we can get this one stickied.

It might help if a few others also concur and post in that thread as well.

               Bump.  
It looks like they want to sticky other stuff that was not even requested and not this.
