Autodesk to release 3d studio gMAX free to gamers
Kudos to Picky, who noticed that Discreet, a division of Autodesk, announced at SIGGRAPH a couple of weeks ago that they'd be releasing a pared-down version of 3d studio max, called 3d studio gMAX, free to gaming communities everywhere, for modmaking. Halo mods just got easier! The full press release is here. Pax. (Crux Fidelis 17:11:40 UTC) (permalink)
Halo Center still has staff members
Fire Phoenix wanted to make it clear that he was still working on Halo Center (although not as site maintainer)... the site's not closing down, it's just lost its site maintainer. Apologies to anyone who misinterpreted my comment about there being noone in the position of maintainer as meaning there was noone working on the site. (Louis Wu 12:58:25 UTC) (permalink)
The PC vs. Console Debate.
The PC vs. Console Debate. GameSpy have a report on John Carmack's (co-founder and lead programmer of id Software) annual QuakeCon speech which covered among other things the PC versus console debate, mod making, and the new DOOM game. Here's a quote:
"Is the PC dead?" It was a question Carmack had been asked several times by interviewers throughout the weekend ... and he wanted to give some of his thoughts on the issue. He began by explaining that a lot of the industry has been wowed by what they've seen from the console marketing campaigns, thinking that upcoming consoles would be so powerful that they'd completely overtake PCs in popularity and render them obsolete. Carmack, however, gave several arguments as to why the PC still has along life ahead of itself alongside consoles.
Good read and great to hear The Man's views. (Ding 06:42:46 UTC) (permalink)
