Anyone interested helping with some BSG ships?
Nope. XD
Can anyone donate me some weapon and vehicle models for use in BF2 engine? Please PM me if you can.
So, what about starting a modeling contest?

Also what i meant is both texturers and modelers, not only texture artists.
Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me out with 3ds max 2013 problem i have. The model seems to Auto-Smooth the edges (What i do not need, i want sharp ''square'ish'' edges). You can see here: Imageshack.us . The one in the left it makes when i shape the object, but i need the one that looks like on the right side (I got it when i used extrude). I do not have this kind of problem on max 2010, so i dunno how to fix it (shut down the auto smooth or whatever is causing it). Anyone could help?
You have to turn it into an editable mesh and choose face or ploy and scroll to the bottom and there should be a big group of numbers, and under that I think there is a button called clear smooth or something along the lines of that click that (By the way you need to have selected the faces/polys you want to get rid of the smoothness from before you click that button)
-Hope this helps
