I'm starting a topic that may come across as slightly "wanna change the world" here, and if that's how it's taken then I apologise. The topic of resurrecting old threads on a forum is one that I have been familiar with on many forums, and it's always a loaded question. I was given the choice to...

Part 1: Planning and Building Your 3D Model Planning Before you create any 3D objects, plan out what your end model will be. Find some pictures or photos of it if you can, or if it's a self created item, draw it out on paper or in a drawing app a few times to get a feel for the real 3D...
