Spartan 3D

[Valkyr]

good explaination. what 3d program did ya use?

[Spartan8]

I use 3ds max r4.2.

I also found a little more info on the voulge. It was used mainly in larger armys that could afford to have many people stand at the front lines to impale attackers.  They were also used mostly as a defensive weapon to prevent the opposition from breaking the front line.

well, i have to say that\'s some great work. i would love to get into 3d modeling but all the programs are so darn expensive, anybody know of any good programs that are free or atleast $200 or less?

[Svetlana]

Blender or Milkshape 3D are both free, and there are several more

[Tomaseth]

Thank you, I\'ll check those out right away. Which of the programs is better for someone new at 3d modeling?

Well I use Blender and I love it.  It takes a little while to get used to at first though.  Although you are going to have a hard time downloading it and learning to use it because the company that made it went backrupt.

[Tomaseth]

Okay, well, that will make it a bit difficult, would anyone happen to know where I can download Blender?

[AendarCallenlasse]

Well your best bet would to download it from Kazaa or just browse around for someone who has it for download from their site

[Tomaseth]

Well, I found blender, and it has a very neat interface. I might need some sort of an introduction because it is a bit different than some of the other programs I\'ve been playing around with. Thanks.

Well i finally got around to updating my site. i added 4 pics of two models and also two pics i made with photoshop.  if you guys would check it out and then critique it for me that would be great.
