@necro: Yeah, Blender is good, I have been using it for about a year. The workflow is far superior to that of 3DS MAX, and right up there with Maya. Either way, MAX and Maya don't contain a UV mapper that can even match that of Blender's
And ah, that is a little too many quads for a gun. Have you ever messed around with creating detail meshes, then game meshes with UV map coords on them, and running it through a program that produces a normal map from the detail mesh, and applies it to the game mesh?
Anyways, I have another question. I will try to explain this as best as I can.
Say I have a sword, and it has a bottom handle, and a top "sword part"
that I have not yet connected. Is there any way that I can possibly attach a vertex from the top part to a vertex on the bottom part?
I don't quite know how to do that.

In blender, if they are two seperate meshes, just use ctrl-j to join them into a single mesh object. If you have two parts in the same mesh, you could always use the "f" key to draw lines/faces between them or "w"->merge them into a single point.

Ah, alright I never thought of that.
So ctrl-j will make one mesh snap to the other one? And not add triangles to the inside of the mesh?

No, ctrl j will take two seperate mesh objects and make them one mesh you can edit. You can add lines and faces between verts in edit mode using "f", if you hve a triangle or quad, it will add a face between the verts while between 2 it will just add a line. BTW, a mesh is just a collection of vets, faces and lines. They don't have to be connected to be called a mesh, whatever you are editing in edit mode at any given time is a single mesh object.

Hmm alright, yeah thanks for clearing that definition of meshes up for me.
Anyways I have to get a better computer, because as soon as I start trying to UV map my meshes(~500 triangles) it starts going as slow as molasses.

True and then with a better PC you could stay on IRC while working on 3D %)
:-P
I have to leave IRC when I record songs from MTV Music Generator because of similar stuff

it takes like 10 min for something to happen when you press a button.
actually, you're right, it's kinda relative isn't it.
I should probably be using the other comp for 3D

Yeah, I know what you mean. It isn't 10 minutes though for me. More like 10 seconds. I select a vertex and it takes about 10 seconds to register, and display it as yellow.

if you have 1 GB RAM or less it does indeed, as it require that much RAM to run. If u don't want to spend lot of money on RAM you should stick to XP for a while longer
