How do i make my own models and skins

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Is there a demo version of 3Dsm or something? Or another product like it that doesn't cost anything? Can I make skins from scratch with SkinEd (the Unreal skining program)? Or must I purchase the damn thing for like $800?
Thanks in advance for any replies /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Finding a legal copy of software for modeling that's free can be fairly hard to come by. I personally don't know of any, but if you find something, you must ensure it's able to export your model to a .3DS (3D Studio) format so you can import them into Unreal. This narrows the modeling software down quite a bit. As far as skinning goes, you can export a .PCX of any Unreal skins and sketch over 'em. I use either Painter3D, Photoshop5, or Paint Shop Pro- or a combination of them all.

For the skinning apps, (paintshop pro etc...) is there any demos or free versions? 'I'm a cheap bastard I know' hehe.
When your a student your always poor, and it would be senseless for me to by an expensive app for just a hobbie.
