Is Maya the way to go to get that detail level that is very much being longed for? I would really like people to show me levels made with Maya.

IMHO, you are better off using a cheaper 3d software; using Maya for just levels is over-over-overkill (like using a grenade to hunt squirrels). PS: Probably moot anyway, as I believe the Maya PLE version is no longer available. ^_^ "We've got a blind date with destiny...and it looks like she's ordered the lobster." -- The Shoveler A7 Commercial (on Windows 7, 64-bit)

Thise whole package used to be well over hundreds of dollars, and is now free. But yeah, Maya is expensive, Max is expensive, so just stick with the easier and lighter tools. Even going with 3D World Studio. If your good with, or even decent with Unreal Engine then 3D World Studio would be easy to understand. Other then that, there is a big following, and lots of documentation for TrueSpace. Link to Video Tutorials TrueSpace Link to Download TrueSpace. Last edited by Pugware; 05/11/09 02:35. Ok!
