A cry for help....

Greetings good folk,

Im in dire straits here and I call upon the great users on the irrlicht forums to hopefully save me. (please)

For a project I am doing here at work I need a very simple tetrahedron (three sided pyramid) with a blue side, a yellow side, a green side and a grey bottom.
Thinking this would be a simple model to make having had no experience in modelling, I downloaded blender but I about had an anxiety attack trying to figure out how to use it and sadly time is running and I don't think I have enough to learn modelling.

Im hoping this is a very simple job for the skilled folk on this forum and I am offering 100 galactic credits and unlimited kudos to someone that can help me with this task.

Basically I just the need the said model preferably in 3ds or b3d format and the texture that goes with it..

I pray there is someone listening to my call for help......

Muchos thanks in advance..

Bob

If you do fancy trying to do some modelling of your own then i found milkshape much easier to use than blender. I tried out blender and it just looks horribly ugly and hard to use and i couldn't make heads or tails of any of it. Milkshape though i found very easy to pick up and find it very useful now! It's only got a 30 day trial but if you like it then it's only £15 to buy a licence and i'd say it's very worthwhile!

Thanks JP - one of these days I suppose I will have to learn the basics. Perhaps milkshape is the one for me too.

I think Im just getting too old to start learning a whole new language!

anim8or is very simple. But reusing the tetraeder from the custom scene node example would allow the same without any external modeller.

By all means.(anxiety attacks are minor with that one)

I know the Excellence ( www.wings3d.com ) is not for everyone, so Metasequoia is great for those who prefer a different approach...
and for animating a character...well, no doubt, Blender.(unless you have some 3,500$ or 6k something )
