I think it's time for me to make some stuff and acually make my own WAD rather then stealing them from other files.
Can some one help me out?
Thanx

Any 3D editing program that can create DXF files might work. The ones most popular now are Rhino 3D (pay) and Metasequoia (free).
It must create DXF files because right now the only way to import the 3D mesh into a WAD is with strpix, and that is the only file format it handles.

Sweet... I have rhino on my LT. Do I just creat something as a "DXF" I believe you called it, and open it in StrPix? Can I still use the list of TR textures to change the objects colors an stuff?

I think someone has a tutorial somewhere. Check the readme file that comes with strpix, it has some info about specific formatting required, as well as layer naming.
The scale used is 10.24 units is the size of one square in the game, so scale accordingly.

I have the first part of my Rhino tutorial finished. It is currently at http://www.geocities.com/tblincoe2000/rhino_tips_and_tricks.html

This may help some

P.S., the links from that page lead to "dead" pages as I only use the geocities site for building and editing.
