I'm working on a game for my graphics class using XNA for the XBox 360. Most of the 3d models I use will probably come from TurboSquid and similar websites. Since I'm using XNA I'd prefer that all my 3d models be in the .fbx format. While I... |

Converting Maya and 3ds files to fbx

I downloaded that, and I believe it only imports 3ds files. Seems like there is nothing out there short of actually getting Maya that will convert maya files to fbx. Sigh, can I at least do this with the trial version of maya? |

Chemistry of Game Design: systems for design

Quote:Original post by H4L
It certainly has applications, though I'm not sure how deep you can go with it. I think it's more to do with level design than your core game mechanics. For example, in Castlevania:SOTN, at some point in the game you gain... |
