Maya, 3DS max and i forget what the other modeling one was, think it was XSI or something like that. are all modeling programs you can use to create models for this game. the finer details of what you do to make a model that can be used by the game itself will be explained in one of the pined topics that deal with modeling.

I use wing3d... little (7mb download), simple to use and free... cannot work with big model, limit a little over 50000 poly, who is already to much for sins...

 

Work on Mac, Linux and Windows OS... can model, create the UV and make the template for texturing...

All the models in Sins were made with XSI, and the converter/importer tools work with XSI models. So while you can use any 3d modeling program to make them, I would recommend the XSI Mod Tool, it's free from softimage and works wonderfully for making models for mod projects. They have video tutorials there also. The download page was down during the holidays, I'm not sure if it's up yet..

Huh, that's new. Just choose XNA-PC. It's probably for their research purposes, or whatever
