Hey guys. This is my first modding attempt but I am willing to put in a lot of effort. I hope to break into the industry someday. I haven't found very good documents on how to mod DS, other than that little quickstart class on www.dungeonseige.com . If anyone has any links or knowledge they could share please do so.
So far I have the following programs: DSEdit, Gmax, and SkritPad.
Problem with GMax is that I can't get the tutorials to work or the help for that matter.
Thanks for any help :)

There aren't many docs yet written for modding of DS. However, there are other skills that you can be learning that will help in your modding. Read up on Skrit, Understand teh directory structures of the .dsres files, learn some simple modeling, play with siege editor.
We'll add to our links list if others find helpful sites. Thanks!

Double check where the tutorials are, they unzip to a different directory than they should, I had the same problem. Make sure they are in the main Gmax folder subfolder tutorials (when you unzip them it creates a seperate Gmax folder and sticks them in there so Gmax can't fine them.

I have read the spell ones so that I could come up with a modified clay golem helper. So far, I've only been able to do the basic things... nothing fancy.

Try looking at the 3D links here for some info on 3D modeling:
