fps graphics

2D graphics: JASC''S Paint Shop Pro ($70 US) or ADOBE''S Photoshop (c. $500 US). Not surprisingly, Photoshop is better, but PSP will do most anything you need (it works fine for me).

3D models: Milkshape ($20 US), Blender (free), GMax (free, not overly useful), 3D Studio Max (more than you''ve got) or Maya (way more than you''ve got).

If you give us some more specific examples of what you want, I and others could probably be more helpful.

Good luck!

Hello,
This is my first really big windows project. Im making a prohibition era style first person shooter. I am still making changes on the story line so i will not go into that. me and my friend are going to work on it together. I am a farly exspierenced programmer and I dont feel that this project is too beyond me, but I am a little nervious about the graphics. my band is going to do the music so thats no problem. my friend dosent program, but is a very good artist. He has not used any 3d modeling stuff but is interested in it. I need somthing that can design meshes and objects easyly that will not kill my budget. I tryed using milkshape, but i can not figure out how to use it to make different weapons, such as shotguns and pistols. Is milkwave able to make things like this, or is it only for making charicters. If you can explain to me what would be the best tool for this it would be helpful. And can you please direct me to some good tutorials on the different tools you mentioned and where to get them, and what they do, i would be very thankful. Thanks for how much help i have already gotten and I hope you will be there to anser more questions. Thanks.
