Hi

I was just wondering what software I need to make my own custom content?

Hi Loofman,

First go to the Midnight Synergy site and read the tutorial:
www.midnightsynergy.com/returntowonderl ... l/adv2.htm

You will find that you need a 3d Modeling package. The one most discussed in this forum is Milkshape. Find it at:
www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/.

You will also need a paint program, such as MS Paint, Adobe PhotoShop, or Jasc Paint Shop Pro.

Also see this topic in the Custom Content Forum:

Hope this helps.

By the way, loofman, since you said "custom content" and not specifically "custom models", I should mention that a relatively quick, easy, and versatile way to do custom content is to make Custom Houses. janetgalle is the expert in that area......

Additionally, some already-made custom models, such as the custom floors and billboards, also have similar degrees of customizability as custom houses, and so they too are worth looking into, as all you need to do is to supply a 2D picture to customize them.

Of course, if after all that you still need more, you could then move on to learning about 3D modeling, which unfortunately can be a bit tricky. That activity is the one that will require you to get a program like Milkshape.
