TUTORIALS
The core of the site. Here I will collect all available tutorials and comments from experts in the Morrowind editor and 3dsMax, as well as discoveries from everyone. Drop any suggestions you might have in the Morrowind forum to Thanos_of_Titan or mail to thanostower@hotmail.com, as to the content you would like to see posted here, and any corrections to any errors you find in the posted content, as well as tips on modeling that you want to share with the community.
It is my hope that I will compile tutorials that will make creating custom content easier for beginners that want to contribute to the Morrowind community, but lack the necessary information to do so.
Check the LINKS page for the tutorials from Rhedd, Proudfoot and Leiawen. Others will be added as well. I will contact these talented modders for permission to host their tutorials here.
Posts from the Morrowind Forums will be cleaned up as time allows, and converted to PDF files.
You need the Adobe Acrobat 5 Reader to read these tutorials. Please download this free program here.
