Been Learning 3Ds Max 09

[1magus]

I have been learning this and getting pretty good but keep in mind this is only my first class.

Anyway I had two questions:

1. Can the Dreamcast read 3Ds Max files? I presume since it is a 128 bit Video Chip inside and has twice the Video RAM of a PS2 it could handle some interesting things.

2. Is there anybody that has some homebrew projects that need a 3D modeler? I know I'm a noob in 3Ds Max but I can make stuff :p

Did I post this in the wrong area or does nobody care? :(

be patient ;)



3D projects take alot of work and really the dreamcast scene is short of coders, not 3D modellers.

someone might take you up one your offer, but not likely.

You would be better of trying to get involved with some pc homebrew projects.

But I wants to do DC :(
also can it read .3ds Max files?

I think KOS (the hombrew SDK), does support 3d max files

Also since you have no experience making homebrew, you really should try a pc homebrew project first

I have been using Game Maker 7 to make something but it is for 2D and I do not draw Sprites I simply manage them.

KallistiOS provides no internal support for loading any sort of specific (3d-related) files. That's not to say that you couldn't write a loader for them, but it certainly isn't a part of KOS proper.

yeah i was thinking it was either KOS or Iris (the 3d engine)

So when it comes to 3D modeling am I useless for NON PC Homebrew?

I wouldn't say useless, but there are far more 3d modellers than there are coders
