Re: fuzz modelled a gun, he feels proud :)

Any modeling program will work in theory, but the tools for BF2/2142 cater to 3DS Max.
I haven't heard much about XSI, but what I have seen has been really good (mostly Bandu's stuff. tongue ).

A few Devs use lightwave. I know Luuri is one of them, and he is one of the fastest modellers I know. smile

I don't know which would be best for beginners, but out of the programs I use (3DS Max and Lightwave), I would say lightwave is easier to pickup.

To some them up roughly:

3DsMax - Good all round program
SketchUp - Easy to pickup, but is useless for overly complicated tasks (especially organics), has some issues when exporting to max.
Lightwave - Never used it, but if Lurri and Ry use it...
XSI - XSI users are like fireFox users if you don't use it they will hound you to death to download it tongue. Its is ment to be a high quality professional package.

I used solid edge to model mine... I don't think that would work.  Solid Edge is a modeling program provided by my school to me, it's worth around 8000 US dollars
