modeling software

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

@Wolfy:
Bryce is an awsome program, if you can get the thing for a decent price. the only other problem is the lack of export options, so you'd need to have something like MS3D to export to CMP. The only other major problem is that it doesnt make meshes. which makes it useless for gaming. for FMV's and such, its awsome, but not for games.

it kinda depends who's paying for it...!

I'd recommend, in this order...

1.Bryce
2.Lightwave
3.3D Studio Max (any version)

3DSM is your best bet though - I believe that the older versions have now dramatically dropped in price - I also seem to remember one version being given away free on the front of an issue of "Computer Arts" a few months ago.
