I'm looking to try my hand at the TF2 fan submission stuff, and I need to know how to create 3D models, I want to do it as cheaply and as simply as possible. They allow .obj, .ql and .mt for the models & .tga and .psd for materials.

Check whatever 3D program you use has an export function that allows you to export as a certain type of file.

That's the thing, this territory is all new to me, I don't know what to use at all.

Anim8or is the easiest (good) model maker I know of, and it saves as .obj.

Then I can't help you. I haven't even heard of what you just said. I mean if it was Maya or 3DS Max or something, I could probably scrounge through their help pages for you.

I got started with 3DS Max. Its intuitive once you learn what each button does. Admittedly it does seem daunting at first but you get used to it. I always keep a cheat sheet with me any way.
