Model editor

Post by RomiSoft »

Hello,

Which free editor can I use to make a model?

I found http://www.wings3d.com/ can I use it with ogre?
Are there any more?

thanks,

Alex

Blender is an obvious one, has good support to import or export meshes.

Read the Wiki.
Looking to hire people working out of their home to do C++ Ogre programming. Blender artists also wanted. Looking for long-term relationships. PM on forums or contact via AIM or email Art@Arica3D.com

I suggest Blender too. At first is quite tedious to work with, but I've read a couple of tutorials on their site, and I'm loving that program :) You should give a try (it's free, so you won't lose anything ;))

hm.. I think Blender sucks. The previous time I tried it I was looking for more then an hour to the save button. So it was not so 'me'-friendly :)

I will try wings 3d I think.

:shock:
In the file menu choose "Save" or "Save As...". What way are you accustomed to?

I suggest giving Blender a chance, and going over some of the tutorials. I think it's worth it, but it's really up to you :D

I download blender 2 years or more ago, then it had an really unusefull interface. I couldn't find anything. I download the current version. That one looks better. I even found the save button :)

Yep, the same happened to me. But I gave it a chance recently, and yes, the tutorials saved my life :D Trust me and give it a try. Very small size, and following a couple of tutorials won't take more than 1 hour ;)
