Felt like being a part of the hype. But... So I don't get yelled at, I guess I'll ask a question. What all is involved in editing and using the Q3 Source? What exactly do I need to model? Code? How can I learn? I seek answers from YOU! edit: and so you don't think I'm completely incapable of learning any of this, I did take Visual Basic 6 classes (yea i know, whoopeee) and I did teach myself how to code html (again, whooppeeee).

Asking "what do I need to model" in a programming forum is your brains way of saying you'll never, ever be smart enough to understand even the most basic elements of programming. Or modelling. Or anything beyond working in wal mart.
