Maya 2008 Incompatible? Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Its true that you can only use maya 7/8 (8.5) to export but you can safely work in 2008 if you save your files correctly.

Steam Mod Tools version 1.5 Singleplayer Patch Error Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 SP Mapping well you might want to try this. i saw this floating around somewhere a few days ago. it might work for this as well i dunno, Quote: if you get the "can not load default texture" error just make a copy of radiant.exe and rename it to iw3sp.exe and place...

Capturing Video help Call of Duty : CoD Mapping well speaking from experiance (and as the voice of the discount home studio) usualy when making a video you have an average of 3 phases in the pipeline. 1) capture: this is where you do your thing creating a scene or takes more is usualy better so ...

Creating Model Collision meshes Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping After I searched for the variations of my question I came to the conclusion that COD4 does not, in fact, have the ability to use or export collision meshes with models however this does not dispel the belief that one can’t use a fake col mesh. Though... [more]	3	1149	Feb 25, 2008 03:18 am by ryokukitsune
crazy idea, just want comments Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping well for that type of game play you should use the Caulk texture to make the walls so the ground has shadows =P this way you can throw in locations where players can take pot shots at each other threw thin walls.

Making terrain... But how large? Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping well any level design is a balancing act between detail and resolution. if you have to much resolution it kills your performance but if you have to little detail it kills the ascetics of the map. as far as terrain is concerned, you probably should star...

Creating Model Collision meshes Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping I know how to use maya however everygame I’ve ever worked on has its own subtle nuances which complicate exporting of models. I understand how to export static, ridged models however I can’t seem to figure out how to export collision meshes for my mod... [more]	3	1149	Feb 24, 2008 05:33 pm by ryokukitsune
angled brushes Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping well if you give your cabels a pivot point by grouping them to another object (say an origin) you could rotate the origin (which is placed at one end of the cable) and match up your positioning. its not going to be exact unless you can find the correct an...

SP robot Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 SP Mapping I'm trying to simulate that the player IS a robot (or at least controlling one at a safe distance) to do that I need to adjust the camera to a better height and change the optics and restrict the motion of the player to forward and reverse. in theor...

Muliple materials on a custom model Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping maybe, I'll think about it. model import/export is something that does need to be covered however I currently haven't had any need to look into it however I will probably grace over it at some point if not in the very near future.

SP robot Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 SP Mapping well my idea, very rough at this point, is to have an experimental deployment of armed remote robots clear out a series of buildings connected by ground level vent shafts in prep for the player to hold the facility during the next map. if possible I'd ...

Maya units setup Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 MP Mapping Well he does bring up a good point, unless you are working on a background prop there really isn’t a reason to make a FULL building in maya. Maya should be used for detail work such as creating blown out walls awnings and other details you just can’t ... [more]	5	1820	Feb 23, 2008 06:13 am by ryokukitsune
SP robot Call of Duty 4 : CoD4 SP Mapping After watching some videos on YouTube about raidio controlled ground vehicles I would like to add something like that into a map.
