and dont forget that gmax also incorporates 3dsmax 4's animation capabilities... so it might really a nice tool for every modder would have, but it may or may not replace the full fledged tools that we currently use today like WC.
eric, just importers and exporters of smds/animations or maybe to directly to mdl as the current plug-in for gmax for quake3 which exports the model into their md3 format. --- -- --- -- --- -- --- -- --- -- --- Kevin Navia Web developer http://www.asia-hotels.com (PH) [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Newfield Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 10:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] VALVe: GMAX? The level editor would be an ADDON for this MODEL editor. Level editing is something that this model editor is capable of doing.. the way you read the information and interpret it is important. Look at it this way. You would consider 3d Studio Max to be a model editor, right? Of course. Rainbow 6's levels were made in 3d Studio Max. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Holt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 5:22 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] VALVe: GMAX? > Nother quote... > > "Save time, money and energy by concentrating on building your games > instead of maintaining a proprietary level editor." > > John Newfield wrote: > > > Uhm what?
