Help with understanding modding/ Character creation

[Rodinius]

Hi guys im new here as you can probably guess. . I am really interested in getting into map creation and character creation but im unsure of where to go or what to get. Currently I dont own a full version of Quake one (not a good start but im working on it) I do have worldcraft and all the other required downloads installed so that when i have a copy of quake i can get things moving, but what kind of things would I need to have to start on creating my own character models??? and how can i go about modding characters like this!!!!

Please somebody help me !!!!!

I did some tutorials on making models for quake, but they are intermediate level not entry level. Basically they assume that you know how to make a low polygon 3D model, and then teach how to make that model into a quake format model with skins and animation. But if you want to take a look, they start at

The link to gmax doesn't work any more, you need to visit to get a copy.

Quake models don't have skeletons. If you have Quake (which I guess you don't judging from earlier posts), or models from any freely available Quake mod or models pack, you can dissect some models. They won't help you much at all though, since they contain basicly nothing but vertexes in various positions in different frames. They might have been skeletally animated before exported to the MDL format, I honestly don't know, but that doesn't matter in the end.
