Posts from I suggest that everyone start learning 3ds Max.

I haven't lost hope of creating a mod with a third level for "Heroes 5". I recently bought a book on 3ds max... and the program itself (it's a very interesting thing, I must say). I hope that in about three or four months I will be able to create simple animations. Then I will make my first attempt to write some kind of mod (it's unlikely that I can talk about the possibility of implementing such a complex project as a third level of the map). It would be much easier if it could be done as a team. That's why I suggest that we start studying (this is somewhat similar to a game) this program. For starters, we could try to implement some kind of race. A common cause would unite the forum.
P.S. The latest version to date is 3ds max 8.

good job of course but I know how all this personally ends for me
I've tried to study many things only something is missing.. patience probably
and where can I get the eighth? if it's in a store then how much does it cost? and if I download it then how big is it? I've never seen it with my own eyes... but maybe it'll pull me in. after all, it's a useful thing

and what else is needed to create a race and a level?

A licensed version costs at least 500 dollars. But this time, a pirated version will help us. We got it for 4-5 dollars.

Damn. I recently swore at the provider's administration, and now I can't download anything through a local network. I could have downloaded it easily otherwise.

Well, I don't know. I think you can only download such programs for money.

I started working with this program some time ago... it's very interesting... I only learned how to make a bomb (a round sphere that explodes into many pieces)... then I ran out of patience and time, and I stopped using the program... now I only work in Photoshop.
