lol.

Well, I tried to do a basic design of the map, and well, Gmax pretty much threw up on me. I can't do this unless I get better graphics, and which I will most likely get an ATI Radeon HD 4670 (1GB). Here it is from Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-277-_-Product

Good graphics card, right?

I just took that map and made it for that :P

Portal App can be adjusted to any map.

Yes, but gmax uses software graphics, while 3ds max uses whatever your pc has to offer. I have a really good pc, and gmax fails while max runs perfectly. If Jabs has a not-great-pc, and he's trying to use gmax, may god have mercy upon his soul.

True dat bro.

Well first off, my computer just plain sucks. Right now, I'm using its intergraded graphics (Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family), 1GB RAM, only 1 Hard Drive (C:\, 24.5 of 74.4GB used), and my processor is an Intel Pentinum 4 CPU 3.06GHz, 3059 Mhz, 1 Core, 1 Logical Processor.
Sucks right?

forgets different things

is there any 3ds versions he can use that are compat with gmax once he gets it straightened out?

Unfortunately, no. There are some extremely convoluted conversion methods that usually fail. The only surefire way to get a map in gmax into 3ds max is to get it ingame, then decompile the bsp file via one of the bsp converters into 3ds max. That will destroy all smoothing groups though- be forewarned. Even so, it is far better than doing your entire map in gmax. I took this route with Precipice, and it worked pretty nicely.
