Requirements You can download ZModeler v1.07 (1.92Mb) for free at the bottom of this page: http://www.zmodeler2.com/?mode=downloads You can download txdworkshop (will be needed to create your own .txd's) on this site: http://www.gtatools.com/pafiledb/pafile ... file&id=15 And of course you will need some good painting programm like adobe photoshop, paint shop pro, or whatever you want to use. (DONT ask here where you can download those painting programms cause they cost money and this forum doesnt allow warez talk). You might also need some blueprints or textures, http://www.google.com will give you enough sources for that, or you can look around http://www.gtaforums.com, they have some sticky topics with links.

Introduction The [WIP] in the topic title stands for Work In Progress, which means ill be updating this thread as i move on with writing. I decided not to write the whole tutorial in a text programm cause i need something that keeps me going and the more often i see this unfinished topic the more ill be working on it. In this tutorial ill be trying to lead you from the very basic contents of zmodeler up to the point where you have your own made model in gtavc/gta3. Before you read all of it and try yourself at modeling you should know 1 important thing: The model is only one half of the whole thing, the second part is the texture, there are usable pics/textures around the net but being able to make good textures favours the chance for making good models. If you really cant stand making textures than you will probably find yourself soon enough with tons of great models but no textures for them, though maybe you can find someone who likes to make textures and you can team up with him. However, just had to say that first cause i often get stuck when it comes to find/create textures that fit my models. We will be making a katana (japanese samurai sword) and a shotgun from the beginning to the end, why 2 weapons? Cause weapons are good to start learning the tool and dont take too long. If someone wants to get into creating vehicles i can only help out to a limited extent, for more info you might have to visit http://gtaforums.com which is the best database for help related to gta modding.

ill be using this as a reserved space so i can post news, updates or other info at the top of this page. Tutorial Index: -Introduction- -Requirements- -Getting started- -The Basics- -Modeling a Katana-

wow that sucks... when i dl a ATS vid theres no suprise anymore whether if its good or bad, its always awesome gj, waiting for the next one

4000 posts in 18 months lol graz d00d

search the suggestion section for "register" and youll find plenty of discussions about this

and wheres the problem?

hmm lets see... a carkill is when you kill someone with a car yea i know its hard to understand

when i say "blue" it mean blue will most probably feature this and it isnt possible on the current core also search this section for more info, most of your points have been discussed before edit: meh, posted at same time

have you ran the game before in single player before you tried it with mta? and is your game language set to english?

dont fiddle with exes yet, first you gotta fix that ue, go to your gtavc\TEXT folder and copy all of your .gxt files EXCEPT american.gxt, then put them into your gtavc\MTA folder and try again, report back here, if that still doesnt work try to use gtavc.exe 1.1, if that STILL doesnt work you can start trying different exes (nocd's)

lmfao cant be serious

i just joined

i dont know if im allowed to post this one but ill just risk it

woah thats some nice work keep it up, hope youll update it with the next rls... or maybe make one for gta3.... nah theres not much pickups in gta3

i run all my gta games at 640x480, that way im sure i get constant 30 fps and tbh, gta3 and vc dont really run that good, they sometimes lag more than css or tribes2 o_O

gta3.exe 1.1 dunno bout linux

facts or spam?

rofl id rate the thread max if i could

not possible, search

you always say you play mta daily but i NEVER see you playing o_O

fraps. if youre running win xp then an alternative would be gamecam, just search the forum and you might find some other recording progs but fraps is still on of the best even if it uses alot of recources, try to fiddle around with different settings, lower your game resolution and so on

lets wait for his reply, he might have further questions

no need to lock this unless the flames resume 1 day: 6h 2.2, 5h 0.3, 2h 0.4 and 3h 0.5 = 16 hours mta a day at max, min is 11 and the world record goes to..
