Hey do you guys know where I can get a good price on truespace 6 or 5? Maybe acedemic versions? The reason I am asking is that I would like to take moddeling up as a hobby. and In specific moddeling for freespace 2. Do you know of any good books for moddeling?

modeling in truespace is very easy, dowload the demonstarion (I had the 5 version but theres no limitations I dont get it)

I learned all about modeling in a week without much effort, texturing requires more skill.
Once you get truespace investigate on boolean operations (intersect a cube with a sphere for example) point, vertex, edge editors.

its easy start by placing a primitives on screes (cubes cylinders cones and others) then select on by right clicking on them, a few mwnus will apear enabling you to edit faces, vertex, sizes, coordinates,add/delete these items, intersection tools, the works.

theres limitation you gotta obey for FS2 but those should be learnted later on.

are you saying that the demonstration version has no limitations?

I got Version 5 demo 18 months ago and I never had any time limit for it, nor any unusable commands, I would have to look to the original program to see the difference. (libraries and additional tools perhaps)
