Hi

Has anyone bought and used this product yet? I wrote to leadwerks with some questions and they have not answered me. I am thinking it is a very good deal for this program because it does levels and terrain. Are the terrain features good? are they as good as geoscape, which looks very good. Does anyone think that 3d world builder is better than quark and why?

I dont know why they didnt write me back. I need to decide and if i get it I need a bill by friday. Don't they want to sell products?

I just tried the demo - it's really amazing. What stunned me was the ability to render the shadowmaps on the 3D view, and continue working with the shadowmapped blocks!

It feels quite intuitive. Yet, I couldn't find some things:

For instance, in WED, you define when surfaces are SMOOTH or not. For example, the sides of a cylinder (commercial and pro versions only).

Is there something like that in 3dws, or objects look always blocky?

Also, are there duplicators or other tools? for instance, to make the ladder you just showed here.



As a suggestion for the future - it would be nice if you could do some editing in the 3d (perspective) view. Currently it's more like a navigatable window, in which you can only select objects. WED users are used to modify blocks in the 3D window, and now a new transform gizmo was added, making that better.

Good work!

I heard back from leadwerks. I am putting in to my agency to get this software. I think it looks very good. I would still like to hear other peoples experience with the software.

Still no export 3DWS -> GSTUDIO?

All the best,


Dusty
