Gmax's only redeaming feature is that it's free. And, really, that is a pretty big feature, especialy considering the retail cost of max.Quote:

We're no different.
Yeah, that's all you'll get until its time http://kornnersoftware.com/trillian/mono.gif
Fair enough.
Another great thing about gmax is it loads in less than 10 seconds for me, which is probably less than 5 seconds for most others.
I like max 8 and 7 for the following reasons
Loads fast
Not huge in filesize
Doesnt crash often
Huge compatibility
Isnt Ovverated
Great for new people and advanced people
High powered
Not as costly
and just plain cool :)
Also, does anyone happen to have a link to a 3ds 8 trial?
Thanks :)
Ide +rep you, but it wont do anything :S
:beating:
Max9/DE
3ds max 8.
Max 8 ftw :awesome:
I could have sworn Gmax wasnt free, at least I mean it wasnt being distributed any more, meaning installing it now is illegal.
wrong.

Not only that, but who would want to download gmax illegally? :lol:
How do you download a free program illegally :confused2:
sometimes there are liscence agreements you have to agree to.
so lets agree to disagree :downs:
only if you tell us what's going on :awesome:
he doesnt remember, remember?
someone hacked his account :v
Where is the option to choose SparkEdit?
You choose the option 'Other' and say which one you use in your post.
Sarcasm, sever323.
more love for maya? :(
All I has iz maya 7.0 yah
Looks like a little over 50% of us are gonna have to switch to 3ds8 if they want cookies
I'm curious how these are mutually exclusive
More than likely you'd probably need 7 or later, but I really don't want to leave Maya users in the dark, but a certain someone has failed to talk to me...
I guess I may have to learn Maya's SDK :o. Wouldn't look bad on the resume though :eng101:
Just stared to model last weekend. Max 9 for me.
all mayas can use MEL (Maya Embedded Language) which you can write scripts with and stuff. Anything you write would be compatible with most mayas I bet.Quote:

I just hope Microsoft doesn't get wind of this and spark off WW3, like they did with the C&C generals Halo mod which clashed with Halo Wars' announcement...
Good luck with whatever it is you're doing now. I'm no modder / mapper, but this is still great news for everybody.
Damn... now I'm going to have to go out and buy Halo 2 for Vista. Hopefully that old mod which lets you run it on XP still works... and the last time I checked, it was retailing for about $55 plus over here (Singapore). Please, oh please, let the price have gone down...
When did kornman himself say that he recoded the engine? That was just an exaggerated assumption made by someone uninvolved in the project. We don't know what he's working on yet.Quote:

Love you too :P but I'm uninvolved...Korn is a loner (I do understand why ^^) unless he needs complicated mathematical functions...but for that he got his banananananana :v
Who I never see around anymore>>> Where is that banana.
I chose MAX 8 because of the lack of Maya support.
If there was an exporter for Maya I'd gladly use Maya over max...
Also.. I saw someone said Maya's ONLY programming language is MEL.. but in later versions it can use Python too btw. I dunno about 8.5 but in 2008 if you click on the word MEL at the bottom there it changes to Python
3ds max 8 :P
:CHANGE: i now use 3dsmax 8 and 9. w00t!
s0ooo wat's this 4?
btw moar maya supp0rt
(yes, this acting like a no0b was intentionaly done for no reason)
Have we found out the psbl cookies?
I don't have a program to make the maps on but the one that came with the disk.
I'm still trying to find out who to work it. Anyone cre to point me in the way to someone who can help?

(Sorry about the bump; I only come here about once every few months or so.)
Well, since my partner in crime for this project seems to have gone AWOL, I might as well let you guys know the root reason for the survey since I doubt the project will ever be finished now due to CtlAltDestory's experience in maxscript being vital to development.
We were basically working on a cinematics environment for Max (and later on possibly, Maya) that allowed you to do ALL of your cinematics (one or more cutscenes) for a level in Max, then you would export the cinematics scene to a text file which a tool I'm working on would then parse and perform operations to fix your scenario tag with needed data (ie, object placements, camera points, etc) also autogenerate the entire script for all of your cinematic scene and a few other nitty gritty details needed, but the idea is that it's ALL streamlined.
We had tons of things planned for allowing you to define what events took place during one cutscene (besides moving the camera). Things like, starting a sound, changing the position of a device, perform many operations on objects (ie, damanging, killing, etc), the list goes on and on.
The best part of it? Everything was done in one environment: Max. No going back and forth in max and sapien. Not only that, but it would have worked for Halo 2 (xbox\vista) and Stubbs the zombie too (and Halo 3 later on down the road).
But like say, the person who was helping me on the Max end went AWOL and I'm loosing hope in seeing this project accomplished anytime soon since I don't know maxscript and only have Maya :/. When I had this idea way back when, I tried getting TheGhost to halp but hes too busy doing...things >_>.
Learn Maxscript and do it yourself. Oh, and here are 2000 Euros for Max.
This sucks. :/
Talk to prom. I'm sure they'd be happy to help. (for a price ;) )
no thanks, I want this to be done sometime this year. I don't want to have to be working on this while in Iraq :/. The only max person they have working for prom is JamesD (last I checked anyway, early last year)
Does anybody have a way to contact l33t? This seems to happen a lot. :/
stubbs the zombie? can anyone tell me exactly what game engine it uses? it dosn't look like blam because there are things you can do in stubbs that you can't do with blam and ce. and it dosn't look like blam 2 because the ui dosn't look like it's as good as halo 2...
mid point? or maby the engine has also been modifyed slightly because i know for a fact that you can't rip limbs off and use them as weapons and all that. lol
Stubbs runs on a modified H1 engine.
ah yep. now that i look closer at it and think harder. there isn't any way in hell it could have anything from the h2 engine in itQuote:
