I know max... I know it well... I am forced to use it for work... and deffinitely in my new job which I'm applying for...


the thing is... there is only one way that I know of that this is possible... and its difficult and it costs money.

Its called AC3D its a 3d modeling program that has abuilt in .map exporter. it works great, infact its downright amazing. but! you have to pay for it... the trial lets you export a file ONCE... from there you have to buy it...

Oh....well thanks anyways and for replying so quickly,im very grateful. EDIT:Oh,i think i read somewhere you were sending map tutorials for the newest iris,if thats so,then plz send me one.

Heya ive got AC3D, by any chance will you be writing up a guide for iris 0.2 maps in the forums?

[PSPtwister]

Ya,me too,I haven't created any iris maps,but I really want to.

[Shilo]

So do I :D

Hey,Produkt,does 3dsmax export in .bsp? I haven't exported a lot,so I dont know.
EDIT:Nope,It doesn't,but is there a .bsp exporter for 3ds max and would that work then?

Sorry if this sounds stupid....

I use Cinema 4D, any good?

I fancy creating some levels myself.
First idea is to make a game based on the 2000ad "block wars" stories.

Is there are way to do cel shading in the latest Iris?

Going to start reading up on the tutorials for the old version of Iris or are they redundant now?

[Produkt]

I sugest you read up on Quake 3 mapping tutorials

its much better learning material. from there just come talk to me and I'll help you along with making your maps Iris compatable.

[PSPtwister]

um produkt,what happened to your iris tutorial,i was just gonna use it now but its gone,are you almost done making one or have you even started? i just really wanna start making maps,halo maps actually,maybe a rough hang em high,idk but right now i just wanna know about the tuts.

[Produkt]

I have started, but its rather hard. its not as simple as the last time so Its more or less just a little mix of how some of the Radiant functions work and tips on how to make your maps.

my important focus right now is getting some small maps finished to be samples for everyone to look at.

more of a hands on of how things work out.

[PSPtwister]

Thanks a bunch produkt.

[PSPtwister]

so produkt,how's that tut going along? and will we be needing quake 3 for this one?

[Produkt]

nope I'm getting a custom package for download WITH the other tools

[PSPtwister]
