I'd like to try my hand at rendering some new units. What programs can I use and do you suggest?

Try gmax and the Renx gamepack, free and easy to use.

The Blitz 2 website has some tutorials once you have it installed and working on this page here. They require WinZip to uncompress the files.

Or you could try my tutorial
Gmax for total beginners. Written in plain, clear english, a step-by-step guide to building a tank.

download the gmax tutorials to learn all the things you can do in gmax.The 3rd party tutes are good for learning how to get your models etc working in generals, but they dont cover all the basics of gmax.

Ok, downloaded Gmax last weekend, but they still haven't got'n back to me with the code.

And you made sure to check your Spam/Trash/Whatever folders just in case? It gets confused sometimes.

There registration server is a POS, check out the Gmax support forums for more info on how to get your code (or atleast how long you'll have to wait ).
