What map editor do you use?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/What map editor do you use?
| ||
| Just to give me/others good ideas of what software to work with. Of course theres maplet, but outside of that what do you use? |
| ||
| Cartography Shop, 3Ds MAx, Quill, Milkshape, Giles are some of the tools I use - all are very good at what they do. IPete2. |
| ||
| I use 3ds max to make models, but have never used it to create maps. Can/how do you do lightmaps in it and place entities? any info on using it would be much apreciated. |
| ||
| Cartography Shop/Quill3D depending on my mood at the time =) Gile[s] all the time because it's soooo good. TextureMaker. Fontext. PaintShopPro. |
| ||
| I found a free program 'light map maker' works good for adding light maps to 3ds maps. now just to figuer out my entity delema :/ |
| ||
| Cartography Shop, Wings 3d, and 3d Studio Max. Wings 3d for more exterior work, 3d Studio Max for interior and exterior work/terrain, and Cartography Shop for when I need interiors. I suggest looking at the Luminaire tools if you want to do lightmaps in 3d Studio Max. |
| ||
| you should have said 'what map editor do you use 'sucker'' then you could have sounded like mr t |
| ||
| Cartography Shop 4, 3DS Max, MilkShape3D |
| ||
| I use my own at the moment... QoolEdit!!! |
| ||
| maplet for the raw building. 3dsmax 2.5 for interior stuff, where I make the uvmapping with lithunwrap 1.3. and paint the textures in photoshop 6. CharacterFX for animation. And the csp leveleditor to put everything together. |
| ||
| My workflow to make maps is: Qoole -> BSP Factory -> Gile[s] |
| ||
| Call me cheap, Sure I am. But does any one have a list of free editors? Im shallow, Only buy from giant companys and not lone programers :/ |
| ||
| Maplet, and er... Maplet. |
| ||
| :/ I guess I will stick with my outragusly overpriced 3d program! |
| ||
| Is there any reason you can,t use milkshape for maps 0r at least houses or buildings? |
| ||
| god - use maplet with decorator, that's for free. |
| ||
| I can make Milkshape sing! I can create anything I think of fast. But for some reason I cant make heads of tails out of maplet. I gues its becouse you cant select points, or individual faces, or like a wall, and manipulate it exept rotate. Mabye i just need more tutorials but sofar its just a little too simple. I've seen some awsome games being made with maplet and i can't believe it. Howd they do that? I have also tried Quark army knife and It works great but Its got allot of things in it I don,t understand, like why my copy doesent work any more. If I had just aprogram like quark but not with all it complicated specs,uttilities, and technicalities I could make Maps. |

| Agree about Milkshape, it's worth the time investment, and what it produces is rock-solid and 100% compatible with Blitz (unlike 3DS). For statics and because of it's ease of use try Metasequioa, a great editor that's spoiled me for all the others: http://www21.ocn.ne.jp/~mizno/main_e.html |
