I think he means that this is a tutorial to develop a model using an intermediate level technique.

Sorry for the confusion. I was a little hesitant to call it a beginner

Thats what happens when you think too much ;)

Oh, lol man am I stupid, don't know how I didn't figure out intermediate as in between beginner and advanced. I was thinking it was something like importing models from maya... and using milkshape to export them, or something.Thats what happens when you think too much ;)

A Tutorial like this takes a lot of work, very well done.

WOW i wish these type of tuts were available when i tryed milkshape (ive since moved on to max).A Tutorial like this takes a lot of work, very well done.

Here's my question though- If you snap your verts. together, what is the function/need of the 'weld' command?

For someone like myself who has just started experimenting in a 3D world, I found this tutorial very useful, especially the detail put into the texture editing.Here's my question though- If you snap your verts. together, what is the function/need of the 'weld' command?

If you snap the vertices together, you just have to vertices on top of each other.
Welding, will "weld" (make 1 vertice out of 2 or more vertices) thus, you will have a closed mesh vs. an open gap in the mesh.

To clear up the issue with the "Weld" command. It's always a good idea to "Snap" your vertices together first then "Weld" if you plan on animating/deforming your model. Technically if you just "Snap" the two points together they both share the same 3 dimensional space and are considered one point even though that point is documented twice in your saved file.Best Practice:

Its friggin gr8 before i startered this tut i was a complete newb to milkshape with very limited modeling skills. now i have a good foundation for learning more. thanks Trimspa..... errr James!
