I’ve moved this over to D&D, as it doesn’t belong in the Battle forum. ---

murtaza, you’re pretty vague about the description of the machine you’re trying to create. My best bet would be to go through the tutorials on the tutorial thread.

yeah there are diff kinds of modelling spline, polygon, shape…I recommend starting off with spline or polygon…those the easiest to get the hang IMO… ---

oh, I’ve tried spline modelling, I hate it… REALLY hate it… it NEVER does what I tell it to… ---

they use a lot of mapping and polymod…it is not that hard (poser makes it a lil easy) I can thing of harder things to model… I think polymodeling is the most versatile of the bunch. ---

I always heard that humans are the hardest thing to model? ---

All the tut’s you’d need to get started are here: [http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=21263](http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=21263) Humans are definitely the most time consuming to model and they are hard to model convincingly. I guess it’s the same with drawing, I find humans a little harder to draw too.
