md2 modeling

[deepthought]

can anybody direct me to a good, free md2 modeling utility?

Here are some suggestions.

say i make a 3ds model in anim8or or something. if i import it imto q2modeller, how do i generate texcoords for it?

I recommend unwrap3d.com/]this program. Although you will need to purchase it to save, it's definitely worth it as it can convert many models to nearly any format you need them in, and it generates UV cords and everything for you.

There are Md3 and MD2 export scripts available

The interface for blender is absolutely terrible. Its a good program, but you will probably spend most of your time in the beginning just learning the dozens of unusual commands and keyboard shortcuts.

I'm not sure, maybe the commands/shortcuts are weird to someone who has learned another modeling program. I started learning with Blender and have had no problems with it so far. I find it rather intuitive.

Eh. I just thought that it was overly complicated for beginners. I opened up Milkshape 3D and was able to at least figure out how to draw a few cubes after messing around for a couple of seconds, I had to look up a tutorial to figure out how to do the same thing in Blender.
