So, that's why we went with that format (for better or worse... sometimes i wonder which it is hahaha) (: On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 10:17 AM, Larvantholos <larvantholos@xxxxxxxx>wrote: > Alright, pretty strait forward, were using the 3ds file format for files? > This is good because you can also texture these directly in photoshop cs4 > for adding some quickie details or fixing some bad seams :D > > --- On Mon, 1/18/10, eric drewes <figarus@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > From: eric drewes <figarus@xxxxxxxxx> > > Subject: [project1dev] Re: Welcome Larvanthos! > > To: project1dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Received: Monday, January 18, 2010, 12:58 PM > > ok cool, well you and me are gonna start > > tackling the temple then - but i guess first you need to get > > acquainted with the basics (not sure if Alan went over this > > with you) - pretty much we use milkshape for the models in > > game but you can import from whatever program you use for > > modeling (maya, 3ds, c4d, mudbox, etc) there are > > instructions on the wiki (lemme know if you need the URL) > > for converting to milkshape, its labeled c4d to milkshape > > but the directions basically apply to any program. if you > > have any questions please feel free to email me directly or > > to the group! > > > > > > when you feel comfortable w/ that, contact me or chris > > riccobono (or both) and we'll work out the specifics of > > what needs to get done.
