Hey guy's I just wanted to know if there was any programe out there that allows you to create you'r own weapons and bullets,and that sort'a thing.But will also work in Unity 3D.Because I have tried to look for crosshairs and it keeps giving me the error "Unity couldn't decompress the file".

    Sadly their isn't really a "magic bullet"... to create your own assets requires A LOT of training, skill and talent (ask any of the art people on this forum I'm sure they will concur)..... If you are interested in that side of things though, your best bet is to download blender and follow some tutorials (lots of free training here http://cgcookie.com/blender)

    If programming is more your thing, don't worry too much about making unique assets for now, just download some assets off the unity store and get going with those, if your prototype shows a lot of promise you will likely be able to find an artist willing to make some awesome assets for you (realistically you will need to make a lot of prototypes before that happens, which is why you shouldn't put energy into making awesome assets right from the start.)

    Shanemarks make excellent points... for free 3d models, check out http://www.blendswap.com/ or http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/meshes/meshes.html ...though making your own models is artistically rewarding... you might be killing yourself on production time if art and modelling isn't really your thing.

    In the latest version of Unity the easiest way to create a crosshair is to add a UILabel to a UICanvas, position it to the center of the canvas and align the text to center and middle and put a "+" in the text property.

    There's a great Trello board filled with links to free assets that's maintained by a community member. I must just find the link.

    If you want to make your own 3D models, I recommend Blender.

    But my real suggestion is to practice the discipline of not using using proper assets and just use the default cubes and spheres in Unity3D while you work on your gameplay first.
