News Update! We have a problem.

[TA 3D]

By the way in speaking of development, we have a situation that has come up recently, that will impact the future. I stubled across a statment about GMAX in a form by a fellow poster about the discontinuation of GMAX. Here is a link to the official press release from Autodesk:

As since this was the best free 3d modeling program avaible, many games have used it for making players to make 3d content. This will inevitalby impact many games that use it/and are planing to use it.

As for another important news update, Autodesk has announced that they are in the proscess of aquiring Alias. Heres a link to the offfical press release for this:

this will probaly mean the end of Maya, but will produce the most advanced 3d modeling program ever developed.

People, whats going to replace this program for modeling for Supreme Commander? A newer version with normal mapping capablities(SC uses that)? GPG uses it for the rest of there games. I hope we don't get stuck. I'll ask GPG about it.

By the way GPG moderator stated that GMAX is now run by Turbo Squid and is still offered for free. Maybe it can still be an option for using to make models in the new format for spring and maybe SC
