Hello all, I am new here. I downloaded Sandbox 2.3 from c-net looking for a quick way for a DM to create maps for our online rpg. I actually downloaded 3 programs, and this was by far the largest. Once I had it up and running, it only took about an hour to be completely hooked. I am downloading version 2.5 right now and I have our DM set to download it for our RPG shortly (I hope, he is not as computer savvy as I am.)
I have been playing RPG's and running them for many years now, and this is by far the best thing that has ever happened to computer gaming since the mouse. You can literally make ANYTHING, and then do whatever you want with it. I made a free floating staircase out of lava, water, air, glass and rock bricks last night into a wall of water. It only took 10 minutes!!!! Holy *censored* that is cool!
I need to know how to make textures, make people, animate them, skin them, and blow them to little twitching pieces. Also, a dragon, and an illithid, and a ghost, and etc...
See you soon!

Animation: Same as animation software a lot of really free one's http://www.blender.org/, and http://www.insanesoftware.de/.
Skinning: The only software i use for skinning my models is Tattoo 3d --> http://web.bethere.co.uk/terabit/ And it's also free.
Blowing up models: That would fall under animation and easy accomplished with the animation software listed above.
Sandbox already has a Dragon. A lillithid and a ghost can easily be found on some of these sites http://www.3dvia.com/, http://www.turbosquid.com/ and http://artist-3d.com/.
