   gmax
  I want to know, what do you think of gmax? its potential, pros cons, are there any other programs wich do the same? thanks... 
  As far as i know gmax is good for mod developers as it is a professional tool just with limited functionality. This limited functionality includes saving, which is limited to a specific file format not useable generally bar specific apps which support it (like in some games).Maya also has a cut down mod development version i believe.take a look herehttp://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/and click on FAQand herehttp://www.alias.com/eng/products-services/maya/maya_ple/index.shtmlAnt;  so does that mean i wont be able to use my models in any game? also, does anyone know if the gamepacks come bundle with the game? for example it says quake 3 supports it, in what way or how much does it support it? ;quote:Original post by danydrunk  so does that mean i wont be able to use my models in any game? also, does anyone know if the gamepacks come bundle with the game? for example it says quake 3 supports it, in what way or how much does it support it?   Go back to the Gmax site and download the Tempest game pack and the instructions for it.  It explains how create levels and models for Quake 3 and how to export them.As far as using Gmax for game development, that''s not what Discreet intended for this product.  There are many other alternatives out there, many of them open source(no licensing fees).;  If you want a good, cheap modeller with a lot of export options, go MilkShape!   EDIT: Clicky!Yes... VB6 is here to steal your minds. Very slowly.   [edited by - Mushu on February 12, 2004 7:37:20 AM]
