Blargh, I tried to learn blender but my horrible attention span dragged me kicking to hl2.
I needz to try, though.
Any good tutorials for blender, primarily for low poly junk? I like low poly models, but suppose I should learn high poly
(after I learn low)
Wings 3d seems nice. I've modeled a bit with it. Apperatnly its uv unwrap features are some of the best and it's for free.
I have to agree about blender,it makes me angry looking at it. How do you manage cheapy?
because blender isn't powered mostly by clicking visible buttons but with hotkeys. It's easy and cool once you spend at least 10 minutes just to focus on messing up a box and familiarizing with it.
I believe 3dstudio was used, but not sure. The original Quake models were processed from exported .ASC files which are generated to an mdl using Modelgen with the appropriate QC file for frame macros and the like.

good for you! now say that again 10 times, as loud as you can, to the closest person to you that you could learn from.

Oh, and if your looking for a good free app, I'll second what Cheapy has said about Blender, it's an excellent tool, and once you learn it, you can model very fast with it.
Wings is great for a pure modeler/unwrapper. I think it's about as good as it gets for box modeling workflow. Blender is probably a more flexible choice in the long run though, seeing as it has animation and such. I've chosen to stick with Wings because I find that the nonexistant interface is the best approach for me (Wings is all hotkeys and context sensitive menus). As with all software, it really comes down to personal preference and compatibility. I'd recommend learning both if you have the time.

Regardless, use whatever program you feel comfy with, you don't need a special program to make low-poly models

Oh, and a little motivation might help.
