Damn, I'll give it a shot. Thanks guys. I'm using gmax because I cannot afford 3D Studio Max; but I really like the way you can create in gmax. I haven't ordered gamestudio yet, but I am going to get the commerical edition this Friday. I'm not sure if the layout will be similar to gmax, or harder to use.
My biggest concern is that gamestudio will not have a key that allows you to type in the measurements of a wall, and use a scale--say, inches to keep everything scaled in the scene. I could do this using gmax. I downloaded the demo of gamestudio, and I couldn't find an option to resize a wall (box) by typing in heighth, depth, and width manually. Could somebody confirm this?
