Re: Resources

Found a cool new 3d software called MESH MIXER. (Link in the first post)

Re: Resources

The mapcore.org website is GREAT for getting good ideas and other resources for game development. I am going to join it and tell them about Maratis as well!

Re: Resources

Hey TD, thanks for letting us know about mapcore.org, never heard of it before
and there seems to be alot of amazing infos

About the ressources links, we have a wiki page for that, mind to post them there ?

for Applications
for External Assets

Re: Resources

Thank you Vegas!!!! I just downloaded the VOIDWORLD software and it reminds me of 3dsmax! I wonder why they are giving it away fro free?:

I don't know how to edit a wiki (is that what I'd have to do?)

Re: Resources

No problem wink

For the wiki, you must create an account (and wait for anael to activate it) then press "edit page" in the top tabs,
the syntax is a bit weird but nothing complicated

Re: Resources

VOidworld looks quite nice, but the only problem is, its rather old software, meaning in windows 7, even with compat. mode ON, it refuses to leave the ' visual tool' open, even though the tool starts up on initial run. I even tried  the view menu, and it blinks for a split second, but wont' stay up. That caveat should be included, so people are wondering wth ?

I c hecked out tutorials for this very interesting app, but I saw nowhere in the few  I found where it said anything about this 'window' not showing up out of box on first run.

Re: Resources

I am surprised you don't have BVHacker in your software links http://davedub.co.uk/bvhacker/ you can use it to edit those BVH files. You can for example delete the frames/animations you don't need and replace them with ones from other bvh files that you do want.

I had downloaded it, didnt want to put it up (had trouble with it).

After using it for a bit I see it doesn't handle large bvh files as quickly as BVHPLAY:
https://sites.google.com/a/cgspeed.com/cgspeed/bvhplay

So to view bvh files I will use bvhplay, and to re-sample I will use bvh hacker. Thanks zester.

Blender can re-sample BVH files to some extent also, but BVHacker has a few menu options that will allow for better control like "T Pose, Changing Origin Point" etc. I will normal "prep" my BVH files in BVHacker and then work on them in Blender.

I have Autodesk Motion Builder, haven't  played with it much yet thou.

Re: Resources

Under SOUNDS I added the SPEAK IT app. It allows you to convert text to speech. The voices are very realistic and don't cost much for additional voices.

Re: Resources

For those of you who have an iPad, you don't want to miss what I just added to the list. Check under IPAD APPS.
