Question Most used dev tool?

[JonnyBGoode]

I have a simple question today: What tool do most people here use to create their models. I want to get back into making stuff, but don't remember what I used to know, lol. I think I've got

I use Blender in conjunction with Vlad's excellent import/export plugin. The learning curve is a bit steep but it's tools are highly customizable, and being an open source developer, you can get the basic package for free.

I have Blender, gmax and Anim8r on my system right now. I think when I did the Winnebago, years back, I used Anim8r.

I use Blender in conjunction with Vlad's excellent import/export plugin.

Where can I find this plugin, should I need it?

3ds max 9 however most of things I do there can be done in gmax as well. Both have msh import/export tool: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4185"]http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4185[/ame]

Blender + import / export by vlad: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=18661, Meshwizard, Gimp: https://www.gimp.org/, Photoshop, Illustrator, sound: Logic Pro

Blender and Vlad's import/export addon (wish we could rework it to handle multiple materials and textures), Meshwizard, MeshLab, GIMP, Krita, Audacity, LiClipse and Python, Visual Studio 2015, Paint.Net, LibreOffice (for documentation), SciLab, WinORSA, Crimson Editor. I tend to jump back and forth between Windows and Linux when working on my projects.

Anyone have a copy of Vinka's 3ds2msh converter? His site seems to be down and I can't find it mirrored anywhere.

If you're going to use it to convert Anim8or meshes, I'd recommend going with this export script by Urwumpe instead: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2698"]Anim8or 0.95b .msh export script 070514[/ame]
