Hi Guys,
Just to hear the reaction I will throw this old nugget in the ring again.
We need far better import / export features in RS. To be able to import a
mesh with textures AND animation data out of RS as one unit and into say
Games Engines and / or for Character Animators - Motionbuilder OR Messiah
Studio and the like [ the latter two being specialist Char Anim apps, not
overall 3D apps ].
For example Truespace took the initiative with there Gamespace app -
http://www.caligari.com/gamespace/
Then their is Milkshape also .
At the moment RS imports with OBJ. But how successful is this with full
Texture sets? Animation data is not possible with OBJ I dont think.
Considering the value of the Games Market world wide and the whole modding
phenomenon - it would seem a comprehensive import / export feature set is a
highly desirable thing in the 3D World today.
I would even go so far as to say - Im surprised no one has written a plug
for RS to import / export as a unit the model/anim/texture in / out of RS.
Im sure it would be a plugin people would not have a prob paying a
reasonable sum for. Hands up those who would buy? ME [ so far ].
Is it a case that RS says: "As long as we can keep our current customer
base we are ok with revenue from upgrades" AND their current base doesnt
do games?
Is RS afraid that everyone will export their projects and jump ship?
Whats up? Ye're opinions please,
Cheers
Aidan
