A whole series of advice needed.

I have a bunch of questions

1. Whenever I try to use a flat sheet brush to make a see-through floor I keep falling through. I make it solid, as well as block actors etc but it doesnt work. so where am I going wrong?

2. Anybody know much about lowpolygon 3d modeling as I would like to make my own player model. I'am attempting to use 3d studio max 2.5 with character studio. Also animation and texturing advice would be appreciated.

3. What is the benefits of milkshape. Its just that I've noticed a lot of people use it . I mean what advantages does it have over Max or Lightwave etc.

1. sheets don't have collision, so it doesn't matter if you make them solid or anything, you need to place an invisible collison hull underneath it(thin cube) and make it semisolid, or maybe a block player actor....as for the other 2 q's i dunno

That's it.


Milkshape sucks!!!!!! Use 3dsMAX!

If I make a simple window with a brush I just get a glass texture, make it translucent, then add a box around the whole window, and make the box invisible so you can't walk through the window.

If you look at an old post about the Skeletal Animation you will see that there is a lot more involved with making a model than just making the model. You have to make script for it. I'm not sure about the specifics but if you check the post this one dude posted and he knew what he was talking about.

Milkshape has got built-in converter plug-ins for UT models and several other stuff.
