just to let you all know.. ive started a saber making tutorial.. its a 3d studio/gmax based tutorial. i will not be going deep into the modeling process.. but more on the 2 types of skinning your model. Briefly into making skins for your saber PK3ing , Compiling , and making SKIN and SAB files so it will be a basic tutorial. but it should get to most of the points without dragging on. so expect that in the next day or 2. i already am through the modeling aspect of it.. (very very simple VERY UGLY saber)
sorry.. updating the site and the tutorial haev been delayed a little.. i have 3 new hilts to put up here i did.. but im in the process of moving out of my hotel room and into a brand spanking new appartment... not only that.. but ive also been playing PSO EP.3.... (kickass game for you cube owners out there)
im working on it still.. its gonna be a little time.. mabey im thinking actually going step by step on a specially designed saber insted of making a crappy saber .. its just quite a pain making all the screen shots.. i can easily make a text version of a saber tutorial... its the screenshots that help the most.
And as for common problems.. well.. thats what the message board is here for too :)
