What is the best program to...

...make the 3D models of ships?

I have the ideas for the ship-designs, now I only need to know in which program I can start to draw them...

I've found the best progam for modeling is Rhinocerous. You need Truespace for texturing and hierarchy if you want to put the model in Freespace.

3ds max works great for me. Pretty easy to get into.

Here's my latest model.



[URL=http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52019065/New/conrad/connew1.jpg]Same, different[/URL].

[URL=http://w1.520.telia.com/~u52018631/mik/uv10.jpg]And then Mikhaels remake of the original model[/URL]. *textured by me, as well.*

Oh and try Max Sterlings tutorial, here at VW.

LOL

Figuring out the texturing bit's a real pain too. Thankfully that part improved.
Not sure I can say the same about my choice of texures (generally speaking).
