Those having issues with the embeded reader, please use the direct link (PDF). Im trying something new out with embeding PDFs.
Update 7/29/2011: I updated the look and feel and besides the visual changes, the FAQ is more organized... and well its more like a FAQ and less like a novel.

Excellent job Geek!
I think we needed a one-stop shop for all the questions about world making.
One thing you didn't mention though, was Flynn's worlds creator, one of the simplest forms of world making.

You should link to the tutorials you talk about, but other than that, good job.
It might be a good idea to expand on this in go into some detail about each program.

I was actually thinking that, but the only problem is incorporating them efficiently and without glitches.
but random negative cubes in a world would be pretty cool lol
flying, flying, flying... WHAT THE
lol

Yeah, and there's the problem of making the insides invisible from the outside.

Just use a shader to accomplish that. There's a culling one I believe.

excellent :) people ask all the time how to use sketchup and stuff. We should really have a blog/website just explaining it! lol maybe I'll tackle that myself

I have one started... this whole idea used to be an entire Plexpedia site.

Actually there has been a site for Martian designers for quite a long time.

You say you need the Whirld Library to export, but i have sucessfully exported 3 worlds without using the Whirld Project. 2 of which are in game.

Why do you have Unity3d listed as a modeling program?
» Reply to CommentRe: Modeler's FAQ
Because you can model with it...?

For the poll- I think there should be just a long list for all the worlds not a separate sheet for custom ones.

does it work on macs?
for some reason I can't figure out why I have fifty new folders that all contain "pathname"
» Reply to CommentRe: Modeler's FAQ
Yes!

Why do you say the Whirld Package is needed? I've never used it...
» Reply to CommentRe: Modeler's FAQ
If you know of another way, please tell. Instead of making such remarks which are not only disruptive but also arrogant.
» Reply to CommentRe: Modeler's FAQ
Because it helps when exporting it as a whirld. If you get someone else, I suppose it wouldn't be necessary. However, as others have said, You always mention this, and when someone asks how, you never, ever, respond and explain.
