Modeling software

Post by TomazDrnovsek »

Is there any other (free) alternative to using 3DS Max for modeling for P3D v2?

Blender is another - go to fsdeveloper - there is a export program there, also an amazing tutorial on blender and aircraft modeling.

Some also use sketch-up.

I thought Blender and gmax work only for FSX. Besides that in P3D SDK there are only 3DS Max references.

It produces the same mdl format, so it should and does work in P3D. 3DS Max is probably the best, but I know Blender works for me.
