    Default Plea for New Modding Tool

    This forum is often full of requests for gmax help, or posts that regret that 3DS Max is nearly $1000. Less talked about is Blender. This seems like the perfect alternative to paying your college fund or using BitTorrent. The only problem is that it can't import or export .CAS files. It certainly has the potential to, as there are many scripts available to Imp/Exp for other games. All one would have to do is become familiar with the Python programming language.

    Think about what this could mean for the modding community. If this were to happen, Autodesk won't be the one dictating who can and cannot mod. If this were to happen, we, as a community, could finally do pretty much whatever we wanted.

    Come on, Vercingetorix, you know you want to!

    Or how about you learn python. Vercingetorix has done an amazing amount for the community with his tools. Without them, there would be no mods. You have no right do demand something from a modder, we do this for fun in our spare time. And the main reason 3dsmax is used, is because it is what we belive CA used.

    And being able to model in a new program would not allow the community to do whatever it wanted, modelling takes a while to learn and become good at. There are already lots of talented modellers around, the problem is there are too many mods.

    No mention of cracks are allowed on these forums, please edit your post. I would, but there is a staff reshuffle happening at the moment.

    Ok, never mind. I guess I'll go spend my time figuring outhow to program. I didn't think I was demanding anything, just a 'plea'.

    Mentions of crracks are all over these forums. Go look at the Realistic Horse Mod thread.

    If you see anything that breakes the rules I hope you use the report function so the moderators may take care of it.
