 It is always best to start small with a project, just to get an idea of the process of creating.  Most tutorials start with a simple table. Why?  Because it consists of boxes.  Easiest to make and easiest to map.  Start with the most comprehensive tutorial, it covers everything from getting your tools setup, to meshing, uvmapping, adding slots, enabling channels, changing default textures, baking a multiplier, and assembling the object package.

 ===My mesh is invisible===
-[[Image:Invisibleobject.JPG|200px|right]] If your mesh appears to have taken odd shadings, or all you can see is the ground shadow, then you have mixed up the group order of your objects in Milkshape. For example: if you have cloned a mesh from the game and it has two groups inside it called: group_0(being the shadow part of the mesh) and group_1 (the actual mesh), then you need to have in your newly made imported mesh two similar groups with the same exact name and order according to its functionality.  In ts3 the order of the groups is very important for the game to know which texture properties to apply to it.  You will need to make note of the order of the groups and which mesh is in what group when you first import your mesh.

 '''Quick fix:'''  In Milkshape use the Up/Down buttons in the group tab to move the groups to the proper order.
