Ok, I'm downloading HEK, and Ive downloaded Halo CE, so I have all of those tools. The problem is, I tried this mapping before, but didnt hav the time becuz of skool, so I just deleted all of the programs. But I forgot to delete 3DS Max 7, so my time with it ran out. I eventually then uninstalled that. Today, I downloaded it again (months later since I uninstalled it). But it still knows that I had it before. So I tried to remember what the name of the alternate program was. I think its GMax. my first quesiton is, is GMax right? now, i was goin thru the video tutorials, and i got to the 2nd 1 wer u use 3DS Max. GMax seems to be made so its alot alike, but ther r still sum things that r different. my question is, is there a way to get 3DS Max again without paying $3,400, or is there another program i shuld use? id really like to make my own maps. if all else fails, im hoping i can find sum1 who is on alot, and can walk me thru it over AIM. thx a bunch, and plz help me asap. thx.

yes but before i boiught my max 7 (used off ebay) i tryed gmax. it lets you do the basics but there are manythings that it suffers. like exporing and renders, and there are a lot of modifiers its missing compared to max. max is worth it if your into modeling and youhave deep poctets or if you get a god deal like me on ebay or amazon.

yeh, thats wat i was sayin. its hard for me to even get thru the tutorial without 3ds max. for exame, i cant even do 1 of the most basic yet needed things, rotate the grid itself!!. and i dont hav the money for 3ds, so im pretty much stuck. and as far as the download thing, yeh, i no thats illegal, so again i say, im pretty much stuck. thx neway guys for all ur help.
