3-D imaging Software - Living a Dream at a Cost

Thu Dec 3, 2009, 5:03 PM
Well in my previous journal i posed a question for a 3-D imaging software. Within a short period of time i got a few interesting results.

The primary one that came up was Blender. It seems more amateur friendly, and it may be fun to mess with. I got 2 suggestions out of 2 comments xD.

but then :iconcooleosis: mentioned something. He mentioned The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and modding it. Thats when an idea hit me. What software do game makers use? My lifelong dream has been to get into gaming development so i decided to look into it. The result? A program called GMax. GMax has been used from games like Blizzard's massively popular World of Warcraft and Warcraft III and is being used in StarCraft II, to even Warhammer 40k dawn of war. It seems a bit more complicated compared to Blender, but its interesting and could grant me a massive variety in choosing an eventualy career and it seems like something nifty to put on my resume. The problem, the price tag. $4000 is a lot to pay for it. I may be able to wiggle it out of my parents as a gift for the holidays, but im not to sure. Its something I'm curious about so what's all your views on it?

**UPDATE #1
Well i found a version of Gmax that is less top shelf uber high quality stuff and more casual model design. It is used by the vast majority of game moders and seems like a nice place to start. Of course i need my laptop first which should be coming soon... well once i get it then ill be quite occupied. So far Gmax > blender in my opinion but its still open for debate. Though, i found a guide on how to put Gmax sprites into Warcraft III which may be fun to mess with.

**UPDATE #2
I just got word from my laptop. Its being shipped across the sea from Shanghai. Incredibly random yes, but somewhat convenient. My laptop should arrive by the third or later. Also i've decided to go with the low quality version of Gmax, mainly cuz i found a guy who uses it to mod wc3 and he wrote an entire guide on how to work it. In the end tho it doesnt really matter which, it's just that this guy also included several free third-party programs that change the file format into something games can use.

**UPDATE 3
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My laptop came... and then it left.....

Shipping companies are being jackasses. They demanded a signature so thus we now must wait till 8:30 p.m. to go to a certain location and pick up my laptop. -.-

"Tell deviantART about yourself"

ok anonymous voice of DA. lets start with the basics.

My username is Rangrok1k. This is both my email and can be found in variations as other game acounts. The origins of this name comes from when i was about 9. My favorite game (still is) is a classic jap RPG called Golden Sun. One of the most beautiful moves of the game is called Ragnarok. Since i was 9 i had no idea how to spell so i accidently made rangrok. Then i forgot my password so i added the 1k.

If one would meet me in the real world, i would be incredibly shy, yet hide it by acting really cold. In the real world, i am a loner, and i sorta enjoy it. No one bothers me, no one picks on me cuz no one even knows bout me, and im never expected of anything. If i am somehow pair with you in a group project, i will either try to make it solo project and abandon you, or do EVERYTHING by myself in one weekend. Oh, and i am very paranoid, idk, but i am. If you try to be my friend, i would probably just glare at you a bit until you left.
HOWEVER if you meet me on DA im a very different. Im somewhat goofy, nerdy and well, much more social. I enjoy exploring the site and looking for those rare people who no one knows about, but are incredible nonetheless. I love a good RP, but sadly, i am of a dieing breed. Now adays people cannot seem to rp and it sadens me. The only one i have been able to rp with (and is great at) is Cooleosis.

I am not extactly a very creative person, most of the time, i take what Cooleo and I create in an rp, write it up, and presto, i gots a good story. Idk why, but i love to type about anything and tend to go a little off track, but its fun and worth it sometimes.

I have a Mac which drastically limits my gaming abilities. The main game i play is the ancient StarCraft, made by blizzard, it set the standard for rts. But thats not whats fun about Sc. Sc is just epic cuz since its so old, people have hacked it into awesome stuff... like rps. I do have a Wii and will occasionally play brawl on wifi, but not often. Other than that, my parents believe im not responsible enough to handle *rolls eyes.*

I love fantasy. Mainly the mythical creature of it. I am always looking to expand that knowledge and i will whenever i can. If you asked me what i liked the most, i would easily say Jackal. Part man, part wolf. I am a dog person, combine the perfect traits like sense of smell and a tail (:P) with the pure awesome that is an l33t man then u got me mah fav :D dragons are another fav. Idk but they epic too.

I am a writer and i think i am pretty good. I love nothing more than a good story to read when im in bed, the hard part is finding those stories worth such a read.

I do rant a lot, and i can rant for a good while. Im also very good at winning arguments as long as i believe and understand the side i am on. What really ticks me off is when someone is either really ignorant, or incredibly sadistic and has to take his anger out on me. Normally with these people, i reply with a calm message simply stating why, which then leads to them overreacting the someone dares to disaprove of their actions and starts yelling angrily. Most of the time at this stage it gets to the point of being more comical than frustrating.

When asked about my personal views of a subject and what side of a debate im on, most of the time i say "the intelligent person's side." What i mean by this is i make my own views of debates. Republican, Democrat, BAH! Even George Washington said political parties would bring nothing but trouble and i beleive so too. Xbox or PS3, DOES IT MATTER? They are all just excuses to have a great time, not justification to spam the internet trying to rally an army to topple the other. Religion Vs Science? Whatever makes the most sense and whatever fits the circumstances better.
