Hi all, I'm new to these forums so I'll introduce myself. My name's Dean, I'm 22 from England and I'm a student studying Video Game Development. I've been given an assignment to create a small rally game, part of this assignment is to read in a variety of md2 files. As there doesn't seem to be too many of these floating…

There are a lot of other free programs that can get the job done much better than Milkshape. One that truly stands out in my mind is the Maya Personal Learning Edition. It's essentially a full version of…
