3D modeling basics.

Unread postby 5292nate » Mon Mar 18, 2013 6:54 pm

Hey guys. I know they're right under my nose, but I cannot seem to find ANY 3Dcrafter tutorials. I have no knowledge of how to use it, and I need to learn. I really need to learn how to model real life buildings, but I need to start with something basic... Like this flag and sign. These are assets I need for my route. Image I need something to start with, and I can't find anything. !*don-know!* Please don't be annoyed with me. *!embar*! My brain is kinda zapped out!

Thanks guys. (Maybe this thread can serve as a beacon for other new developers.)

I thought the first link in that table of contents would have done the trick....

OK. Tell me when you find something simpler. I want to know what I am up against.

How to make a building with any 3D program. Step one, make a box. Step two, cut a hole in the box..

Nate, you are going to have to give us some useful feedback on where you are stuck on this.

That, or you will have to suffer silly two liners from the community.
