Modeling/texturing for free (?)

[Adorno]

So I read and watched the tutorials on modeling and texturing by Highelf (excellent work by the way!).
And it seems I need at least 2 expensive programs to do it:
Either 3Dsmax or Milkshape (30 day trial versions). There is however the free alternative Gmax.

But what about Photoshop for texturing? Are there no free alternatives - like GIMP or whatever?


I bet I'll completely suck at this modeling, so I don't want to waste my money

Just download Wings3d (www.wings3d.com) and GIMP (www.gimp.org)

A free modeling setup right there.

So I can use GIMP instead of photoshop.

I'll try that. Thanks.

GIMP is basically a free photoshop. It has nearly all of the same features, it's just FREE - Good luck
