erikN Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 about modeling stuff for submission to the ED team... There seems to be alot of rumours about how it's supposed to be done and not many real answers. I've read something about a FAQ about it but I haven't found it. I'm thinking about modeling a JAS 39 Gripen for atleast AI purpose and I have knowledge in Softimage XSI and Gmax. Can I use any of these applicatiosn when I model something for LO:MAC?
Dmut Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 Hello erikN, welcome to the forums. AFAIK, there're no such FAQ from ED, but ED have posted these requirements for 3rd-party models - http://forum.lockon.ru/viewtopic.php?p=23600#23600 accoding to spec's from ED, they will consider only models in 3DMax v3.1 format. So if Softimage XSI and Gmax can produce such files - you may try to test your luck and send your model to developers :) "There are five dangerous faults which may affect a general: recklessness, which leads to destruction; cowardice, which leads to capture; a hasty temper, which can be provoked by insults; a delicacy of honor which is sensitive to shame; over-solicitude for his men, which exposes him to worry and trouble."

Mimes Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 This stuff is great, and so good to see. One just needs to have a look at the success of the "Trainz" merchandise. What fans managed to create and add to an already top game / sim has brought is to a totally new level. OK, or just look at what fans did with Falcon 4.0 - simply awesome! Essentially what I want to say that ED with the help of fans will be able to create an un-beatable king of sims - that is what pooled talent, resources and determination of many fans can do. Make fantastic sim twice as fantastic! :D Kind regards, Mimes "Joined forum in 2004 but flying Flanker since 1995 :o)"
