Thank You! I watched your tutorial and now I think I have a new hobby. I made my first model:

 

[Tiwaz]

I'm getting an error when I try to import my sword into "weapon_meshes1.brf" in the brf editor.  The error reads: "This mesh does not have valid texture co-ordinates, do you wish to load it anyway?"  I said yes and then I wasn't able to view my sword in brf edit.

This is what I have done:

Opened wings and made a sword. 
I went to brf edit and exported the bastard sword from weapon_meshes1.brf. 
I imported the bastard sword to the sword I made in wings so that I could scale it correctly.
Once it was scaled I deleted the bastard sword and exported my sword as "sword_test"
Then I re-opened brf edit, opened up weapon_meshes1.brf and clicked import, chose "sword_test.obj" and clicked ok...
ERROR! yay...

Any help would be appreciated, I didn't watch the entire sword tutorial... so perhaps I missed an essential tidbit... x_X

where did you find the unofficial editor.



Oh yeah how do you get texture's on a item.

 

[Tiwaz]

I used the brf editor... I think there is something called thorgrims unofficial editor but it's for an older version (like .8 something)

Also Wings 3D ... I believe there are some tutorials for texturing in wings ... although I have yet to successfully create a new item in the game so I'm not the best person to answer questions 

These video's are my only hope at ever understanding this stuff    a million thanks to highelf!

Thank you very much.




EDIT:Hey highelf is there another like program like adobe photo shop but is free and i can use the same way because i can't spend like the money if it cost's.

 

[Oubliette]

Try GIMP, Arcka.

 

[Tiwaz]

So I got that first error taken care of somehow.  I had done something wrong in wings I think.  In any case, I'm getting a new error in brf edit!  I imported my shield (which is a triangulated cylander in wings...nothing special) to brf edit as shield_circle_test.  When I click on it in the menu on the left it comes up with the error of:

! Invalid Material

I assume this means my material is wrong for some reason, and the error speaks truth as my texture that I made in wings (all red..lol) does not show up in the brf editor...

Thank you very much.

There are also some old, free versions of photoshop knocking around, not as good but it is free. I cant help you get them though as I have forgoten the link to the page.

 

[arcka]

Wow thanks guy's.

 

[Highlander]

You can also use a 30 days trial for Photoshop, I would recommend to use it.

 

[arcka]

Thanks so much and if i don't get around to the adobe photo shop could you tell me how to change the color for painting on gimp please?.

 

[elijahblack]

Thank you very much Highelf!  Now I can actually start doing something productive with modding!

 

[Ace Martyr]

If anyone wants to know what the hotkeys are in Wings heres how to find out.

Once Wings is open, click Help then click on Defined Hotkeys.
Simple as that.

 

[arcka]

We know that some of us don't i know how to do it we ain't stupid you know,

 

[Ace Martyr]

Yeah, well it's just in case some of the new people don't know.

 

[Ogastus]

Thanks for this tutorials. They are marvelous! They have really helped me with modeling. But I cannot imagine how to insert my models into M&B. Now I'm waiting for your tutorial about extracting armour into game.
This is my first helmet. I've tried to make an Arme helm. It is not very good I know, but...

And this helm I'v made last summer

 

[TheLostKnight]

Wonderful.  This is perfect. Thank you so very much!

 

[Elaron]

It took nearly 1.5 hours to download (because my internet is very slow )these 4 tutorials but it's worth it! Great job Highelf your tutorials helped me a lot. I'm completely new to modding. I think trying to learn how to mod is hardest part of modding.(maybe it is not I don't know ) I hope you will continue to make new tutorials. Thanks a lot again. And you are a good teacher.

For a long long long time I've always wanted to create a model, texture it and try and use it. Didn't matter the game....I read a truckload of tutorials over the years, downloaded Wings about 5 times....and within 10 minutes I'd get the ****s and delete it all because I just could never do it.....I couldn't create the model or I couldn't extrude or worse still if I did it was wierd angles going all over the place, weird shapes and all that....did you ever see the Simpsons episode where Homer is making the Barbecue and you see this perfectly built barbecue....and the the camera zooms back to show that the perfect BBQ is just the picture on the front of the instructions and Homer is ranting 'So why doesn't mine look like that' and you see Homers steaming pile of crap that he built ??  Well that's how my attempts always turned out....

UNTIL NOW!!

Woot!!

Thanks for 4 excellent excellent tutorials that even a clueless nub like my can follow. I followed all 4 of your guides to 'have a go' and I successfully made and textured a Katana like sword.....something simple..I wasn't going to tax myself for a first attempt By the way, your English is perfectly fine, understood every single word.

Much Appreciated...you don't know the sense of achievement I have right at this very moment as I have successfully, after years of crap, finally made my first model

Now...just need to work out how to get it into game in
