Definitive date for updated Level Editor / AMFP Assets / .3ds compatibility

[PutraenusAlivius]

If FBX is going to be supported, even if 3DSMax was used as a reference, we might be able to do something with Blender's FBX exporter. (If only this was more than wishful thinking!) Hopefully, something useful can be managed.

I have an idea. Why not rig it in Blender, export it, then import it in 3DS Max/Maya? Doesn't that make the Blender skeleton became Maya/Max armatures?

That's what i've been doing this whole time, and, yeah, i can get it to animate, but the animations still fail when imported into HPL2 (i.e. the mesh implodes in on itself). Even rigs that were created in Maya and exported from Maya into HPL2 have issues. This tells me that it's not necessarily the 3D modeling program's fault and that the current HPL2 engine's COLLADA support is outdated. The only animations i've gotten to work were those not related to armatures. I can only hope that the version of 3DSMax that TCR used is a pretty recent version and that the HPL2 engine was updated to where i can "export and forget."

No date yet?

Nah, trust me you'll see the topic wherever it is when it happens. I've been refreshing this forum every 20 minutes for the past week.

Pff, lightweight. I don't think I leave this forum bar when I'm actually not in the house, even then at school I look on the computers..

Haha me too. The F5 button is getting worn out. My girlfriend thinks I'm insane.... and maybe I am xD

DAE and FBX files from 3D Max will be supported. There's still a bit of testing to be done so that we can make sure the new script stuff doesn't mess up old levels/saves, but it really shouldn't be long at all. We know you're waiting.

why not Blender seriously

Because Blender is barely used in the industry.

I think the Unity 3D Community will disagree.

Because Unity is used for most major commercial releases, right?

I Thought the Havok Physics, UDK and CryEngine were.

Unity is mostly indie.

I was being sarcastic.

Unity is used as a cheap alternative to UDK generally. UDK is superior is nearly every way, and Autodesk Maya(not used so much) and Max(used the most) are the most used for UDK among other engines to my knowledge.

Cryengine is ridiculously expensive to license, at least the newest versions are, and is used less so but still a lot more than unity, yes.

Exactly, Unity can be a good engine though, Anna, Haunted Memories and Slender The Arrival had good graphics.

They had good art direction, I'd say, but seriously let's compare say, Slender, to BS:I.





Yes, there is a huge difference in budget but if you're stating those as an example of how good unity can look, this is how good UDK can look.
The difference is obvious.

The unity is a -relatively- good engine but relative to UDK and the like? Nope.

Yet we have this
and that's on Unity.
Then we have UDK

There's nothing to discuss about the Unreal and Unity engines. Simply because you can't achieve anything nice at all with Unity Free, unless you will pay quite a fee and jump on to Unity Pro. On the contrary you have absolutely nothing to pay to work with a fully functional Unreal engine. Yes, of course, if you're going to make something commercial with Unreal you will have to pay the fee. But as for non-commercial indie start-up-show-yourself projects Unreal wins easily. No fee, fully functional engine with all of its abilities. Absolutely unlike Unity.
