=EOA= player consortium has all the programs you need to model stuff, and members are pretty active. You hare nearly all mod makers there, who are pretty helpfull with people.
Really sad. I've read that thread now and don't get almost all of it. Whatever. It seems TLR finally has come to an end. I think I'll join The Starport soon.
These two sites are sites I use exclusively for all of my modding needs, and FL chat outside of my normal community. I hope someone finds this information useful.:)
I was considering purchasing the site, but meh, didn't feel like giving out all my money, that and I can't be around all the time ot run it. Too bad too, I think I would have done a good job.
