I would really urge you to not even go into converting models from JK3 or any other game for copyright reasons.

Nobody is helpless making models, it just takes time to learn. I am no expert on making models either, but it really doesn't take that long to get the feel for it.

I would really urge you to not even go into converting models from JK3 or any other game for copyright reasons.

`Cept for JKA´s player models, which were released. Porting anything else from JKA is illegal.

Let me just put it succinctly. If you've never used a modeling program converting a JK2/JK3 model is not for you. You could ask someone like Deviss to help you out (if he is willing), but you won't have the skills to do it for awhile.

I guess then to learn how to use Milkshape 3D and XSI.

All of his models are allowed to be freely converted.
