Sorry for the late reply. I don't create 3D models; rather, I download them and create renders with them. It's not necessarily what you're looking for, but here's everything I use anyway...I'd suggest starting here to get the necessary files before downloading XNALara. xnalara.deviantart.com/ Just scroll down a bit. The files you need are there, depending on what operating system you currently use.As for rendering, you can use any 3D modeling program, such as 3DSMax, Maya, and ZBrush. However, if you're looking for something free (and just as powerful), I'd suggest using Blender. I use Blender for all of my work. Here you can download the latest version of Blender. It's not exactly easy to learn at first, but if you just practice a bit and look at tutorials on youtube and elsewhere, you should learn it in no time. www.blender.org/ Finally, my workflow transitions from XNALara to Blender. I create a scene in XNALara simply because it is easier to pose there, and then I use this tool to transfer the scenes over to Blender. johnzero7.deviantart.com/art/X… It's a lot to take in, and I'd honestly suggest just sticking to XNALara for a while before moving to Blender. If you're truly looking to learn 3D modeling, unfortunately I'm not the best person to ask. Good luck!
