Free 3D software!

If you haven't seen the link in my "points of interest on the web." You will find TurboSquid. Here you will find a free program, intended for gamers who like to mod their favorite games. But the program does a whole lot more. The program "gmax" will let you create anything you can imagine. If you download gmax and the tutorials you will learn the basics to get you started. So don't worry if you are not a graphics designer, the tutorials will take you step by step familiarizing you with all the basic functions. They show you how to make a level, a mace, model a head, create a character, model an airplane and build a power charger just for starters. After you have become comfortable with the program you can take it further, only limited by your imagination. You could even turn it into a money making venture, selling your creations through the TurboSquid website. Speaking of TurboSquid, they are also a source to find many plug-ins to take this simple program a lot further. For instance "Thinking Particles 2.0" a plug-in you have to pay for was used to bring you the particle effects in "Blade: Trinity" If you did not see the movie this plug-in allowed the vampires to die as if they were made of dust blowing in the wind being only effected by the manner and environment where they died. So try gmax letting only your time and imagination stop your true potential.
