What IDE, 3D Modeling and Texturing program do you use??

That is the question.

P.S. I don't know where to post it.

Blender works in the respect it can make models. But actualy making pie models you need a program to convert for example Object format to warzones pie format.
Personaly I use the program misfit mm3d rather then having to take a uni course of 12 years to learn blender.
That was a joke by the way!
I use Misfit in combination with WMIT and Obj2pie to edit the warzone models.
If you wish to go this course you can use this method with blender too.
there is many forum threads that relate to wmit and obj2pie

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wzgraph ... s/obj2pie/ Linux Obj2pie
https://github.com/Warzone2100/WMIT WMIT program
http://www.misfitcode.com/misfitmodel3d/ Misfit mm3d 3d model program
http://www.blender.org/ Belnder 3d program

Think Berg's recent post pretty thoroughly covers the present state of WZ art work flow.

I passed on the Blender PhD myself some years back myself.... j/k. Half regret it now, actually.

Vim, None, Gimp

Notepad++, Blender & WMIT, Gimp + wacom tablet
(WMIT is the currently most advanced tool for converting models to warzone2100 format)
About blender: the interface is a bit non-standard (in the end, it's actually better than the "normal" interfaces), but you'll get used to it in a week or two, making uv-mapped lowpoly models in maybe a month if you have the patience of learning it.

If you are a student you might be able to get a copy of 3D Studio MAX if they are still running that particular offer.

I would like to design models, what must I use: Gmax, Misfit Model 3D, Wings 3D or Blender?
I would also like to texture, what must I use: The Gimp, Paint.Net, MapZone or inkscape?

P.S. I also want to model & texture "other" stuff (none related to warzone), which would be the best?

[Jorzi]

Out of those, blender & gimp are clearly superior for modeling & texturing
