Sudden-Strike-Maps

This will be a series of tutorials for those people wanting to make either new models for the current game, or convert to other periods, such as World War I, Korea, Vietnam and so forth. All of the programs needed are free to use, including the excellent 3d modelling tool, Blender.

I am currently re-learning how to mod Sudden Strike 3, so the series will be slow and methodical, as I break through each barrier. For the last two weeks I have figured out how to make a model in Blender and to get both a working ship and a working tank into the game. I will post the videos to show you things as we progress.

I will use this thread as a master thread, pointing to each tutorial as it progresses. Please, if anyone else has any modding advice or tutorials they can add, let me know. You never know, we just might resurrect this game.
