Any that allows you to save it as obj, its simple, you dont even need to ask that question.

All these things are a bit too technical for me

Anyway i thought you:

Drew out a basic model.
Send it to a UV mapper as an obj, then export as ...(dunno)
Then into milkshape, add texture
Export as X and put through entity maker...

Please put me in the right direction... they don't teach useful stuff like this at school. Hence my name

Well what you do is: Make the model, export it as the required format for the UV mapper, then save the uv as a bmp/jpeg or dds, then open it up in you're moddeling tool, now open up materials(im talking about 3dsmax here, I dont own milkshape.) and put the uvmap onto the model, make sure the UV is correct, now export it as a .X model, now use somthing like entity workshop, now open the model, if its too small, resize it... now add the texture onto it(example: the uv map.) now you have the uv map on the model, now save it as somthing, I dunno? my model 1?

And now you saved it. open up FPSC draw out a small room with the standard segment, place startmarker and a light, and now place the model.
now test...

hope this helps...

look for milkshape 3d, and a program called lithunwrap, THEN spend some time looking up the tutorials on how to do all the stuff you want from Psionic... the best I've ever seen! NON-technical and very well done... once you master Milkshape you can move on to other stuff but its good enough along with Fragmotion to make models for FPSC

only the strange survive, make the familiar strange
