               Most will use 3dsMax or Gmax.  You'll see some Blender, maybe even some Maya if folks can convert stuff.  75% or more of modelling tutorials for NWN are based on Max however.

               NWMax for GMax and 3DSMax vers. 5 thru 9.

               Mostly I just bash the keyboard and/or click randomly until something exports, and hope for the best.

               Ya i modeled one futuristic gun with gmax and now im going into blender.I heard 3ds madx is in a package for students for around 350...and so far 350 is the cheapest ive found or heard about for 3ds max.Anyone here useing blender?Ive been looking over forums about it and read up in there help department.It seems button based.



As for 3ds max it looks alot like gmax and id rather jump into that since im a little firmillar with it.Any comments on 3ds max?

               I think the reason i cant use gmax now is because theres no export that allows fxb files?Anyone know if thats true....I figured most people here used g max since its been around a while.

               I don't know anything about fxb files, but I'd certainly recommend Gmax + NWmax for general NWN modding. You'll probably be able to get quite good with Gmax before you miss any of the features that 3ds Max adds.

I've used Blender only when messing about with importing/exporting different formats, and absolutely hated the interface (though in fairness, I'm very efficient with gmax/max's alt + mouse viewport navigation and keyboard shortcuts, so anything as different as Blender was bound to feel awkward).

               Ya i know i like gmax also,but if i cant export the files i need i cant really do much.I really want 3ds max.How much did you get yours for?
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Builder_Anthony]

               Bah i was just on ebay and theres some kind of product key?What the heck is that you have to pay for a certain amount of months to use it?3ds max

               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Michael DarkAngel]

               No, you can download the trial and use it for free for 30 days.  If you want to continue using it, you purchase the product and get your "key" and then it's yours for life.

               What is a fxb file?  I'd never heard of it, and searching the web gave results that don't seem to have anything to do with 3D modelling... if we can nail that down, then we might be able to find an alternative for you. '>

               I couldn't find anything relevant either; perhaps he means FBX? It's certainly nothing needed for NWN.

               Well, fxb appears to be associated with audio files.  Perhaps the op meant fbx, which is a file format owned by Autodesk that appears to deal with motion capture data.

               Fbx to claify.I also found a way to use g max for unreal editor.......thats where i need those fbx.Anyways before someone complains about off topic.The way im going to get those files which may intrest someone around here from flipping from g max to 3ds max is to transport your files from g max into 3ds max.Theres a script thats used in gmax along with a toolset that i forgot the name of but that toolset allows you to either run the script or open one of the 2 programs.I dont have the link on me but its on a usb card.The point is you can get g max files into 3ds max.
