creating and importing new content into CryTek Crysis : Crysis Mapping Does anyone know what the process is for creating 3D models externally and importing them as static or animated assets into CryEngine? Is there a standard 3d model/animation format it accepts? Is there a conversion process to translate standard 3D formats... [more]	1	2448	Nov 22, 2007 07:24 am by hondaman900
D3 total conv. - How long does it take? DOOM III : DOOM III Mapping If we looked at this as a well-funded startup, would you hazard a guess as to how many team members you would employ to build a total conversion in 1 year?... [more]	6	3068	Nov 5, 2007 10:56 pm by hondaman900

D3 total conv. - How long does it take? DOOM III : DOOM III Mapping So, when embarking on a new Doom3-based total conversion game, how long should one budget for developers? For instance, how many hours for a static ragdoll? How long for an animated character (human)? How long for a vehicle? How long for an apartment-size...

adding a "follower" bot Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping I want to add one of those "follower" bots from Q4 into my level. You know, the marine that follows you everywhere, and is very helpful in a firefight. How can I go about that, and how modifyable is that model while retaiing it's "behavior"? Thx... [more]	1	2475	Sep 27, 2007 04:36 am by hondaman900
RoQ shader help Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping Thanks for the info Foleyman. In the meantime, I downloaded Switchblade and though it's crude, it rendered a 512 x 512 RoQ for me (it matches whatever input AVI dims are) and the gui popped up. You were right, the non-2x size was the issue. Works great... [more]	10	3153	Sep 3, 2007 06:30 pm by hondaman900
RoQ shader help Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping I keep getting "bad size, must be 512 by 384" error from QVM. Doesn't seem to let me use another video size for RoQ output. This is independent of the input AVI size, as I tried converting from a 512 x 512 AVI, in case there was an issue with scaling. ... [more]	10	3153	Sep 3, 2007 03:05 am by hondaman900
RoQ shader help Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping In addition, I solved the preview issue and the RoQ creation with Quake Video maker. I reencoded the source AVI to be 512x384 at 24fps and Indeo codec, and QVM liked that a lot better. However, I'm not getting the video playing in my in-game gui. An...

RoQ shader help Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping I'm thinking maybe it's my creation of the RoQ that's the issue. I'm using Quake Video Maker to convert AVI to RoQ. When I start a new project and import the AVI, and even when I create the RoQ, I get a black screen for the preview. I don't know if this i... [more]	10	3153	Sep 2, 2007 01:17 am by hondaman900
RoQ shader help Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping Does anyone have an example of a shader for a RoQ video gui in Q4? I have a D3 shader, but it doesn't perform as expected, and I'm not sure how similar they are to an equivalent Q4 RoQ video shader. If I knew the required parameters I could figure out wha...

importing ASE models into Q4 Radiant Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping Following an online video tutorial from trepaning.com, which reinforces that what I've been doing is correct, I created a pk4 (699.pk4) file and placed it into my q4base folder along with Q4's native pk4's.

importing ASE models into Q4 Radiant Quake 4 : Q4 Mapping Good question, but I have no idea. Let me ask another way, how are 3D models imported into a new mod?
