I feel your pain man, sometimes getting what your looking for can be a pain.

Does anyonw know if Milkshape works for doom3? im not sure and if it does might be a cheap (if not free now) solution.

Maya does characters, and well, pretty much anything its a complete 3d modeling package. There are some tutorials for things like maya/3dsmax ect over at www.3dbuzz.com and some other places i cant remember the addy's of.

Sorry i cant be of more help :\

OK

Maya PLE which comes with a copy of one of the Unreal games is the Full version of maya only you can't render images and it has text all over the view port, but it's the full software. You don't need to pay for it, you just register. Maya just doesn't do characters it does, environments, objects/props stuff for games and movies, it does everything like max. The tutorial I just uploaded recently uses ActorX to import models into doom3.

I have to admit I can't seem to find that tutorial since it was put on but nevermind. But maya is a big complicated program. Try building the train in D3Radiant and export the model out as an LWO using the editors export tools. To get the train to work you'll still need a script file regardless of animation.

k so u cant CONFIRM wat i should use for my train cause ure giving me way too many suggestions but i aint too good with scripts though

is d3radiant in the doom3 folder? or once again do i have to DOWNLOAD it

where is D3radiant???

try typing editor in the games console

All I'm doing is giving suggestions all ways are good if you know maya or max but if you don't you can just make the model in the editor and export the brushes as an.lwo although I've not tried but should be fine.
