Version 3.0 now includes a new tutorial on Custom Races (like the Wemic), a new tutorial on Visual Effects, and an updated Creature tutorial that includes information on animation, danglymesh, and skinmesh. This version has bookmarks and clickable URLs (yay!). *** Have you wanted to try your hand at making custom content for NWN? If so, this detailed guide/tutorial is for you - it has everything you need to get started. The tutorial includes chapters on: - Tools, Weapons, Portraits, Voice Sets, Items Without Models, Spells, Custom Armor, Creatures, Custom Races, Visual Effects and a host of links to the more common tutorials on placeables, etc.). At the back is a summary drawing together the URL's for all of the tools you need to create custom content and then some.

As this is the very best and most complete source for CC builders, but outdated in many details, it would be a good idea IMHO to do a new version. It should be based on the original, and can leave it unchanged in many cases, there must just be some addtional information added here and there. So if we had a editable text document (e. g. in word format), this updated infos could be inserted by the various experts in the vault and Bioware forums. Of course it would be easiest if the original Author would publish such a Text doument. I made a re-conversion of the PDF file into word, and of course would gladly provide this to the community, but 1. as Word goes, the document's formation is very distorted and would have to be redone by hand before the real editing work could start. 2. I would feel better if the original author is behind the project. So Eligio Sacateca, if you are still around, do you like the idea and would you prase provide us with an editable document? And all of you out there, would you be interested?

An invaluable resource. Slightly outdated in some places at this late date, years after release, but covers all the basics better than any other resource I know of. A must-read for new content creators. _________________________ - Invisig0th

@DM_WINTERWOLF.. I think that there was some controversy over tridents at one point. Maybe search the bioware forums. _________________________ stuff

I have dloaded a copy of this tutorial. So for I have to say that it is extremely informative. However, I am having some trouble with the trident creation. I have tried to find any kind of tutorial on creating weapons in gmax. They we not the best in explaining the creation of this complex of a weapon. Can someone please direct me to a good tutorial for new users of gmax. The copy I have did not come with any. thanks.
