Actually, I'm very new to AC3D, the program I'm using to build it all these days. (Can't afford 3DS Max, I don't do warez, and Discreet don't make a Linux version anyhoo.) I've had LOTS of previous experience in UnrealEd (a free level/model editor that comes w/ Unreal Tournament, made to interface with the Unreal gaming engine), Q3Radiant (a third-party UnrealEd-like tool for Quake3 for maps/levels) and before that, Qoole (Quake Object-Oriented Level Editor) for Quake2. These are pretty much my first go at modelling without the rules, strictures, and abilities that the gaming world had; I'm sort of like a Martian learning how they do things down here on Earth, if you will :) /P
