The Blender 3D would be also up to the task. We just need the target format and specifications for the exported data. 



Blender 3D looks like the open source tool of choice. The target format is most probably open flight (hitech, correct me if I'm wrong) and 3d blender does export into that format.

Specifications? Hitech can we talk now?   :headscratch:

Anyone else notice hitech didn't say anything about formats, or even allowing this... his exact words were :

You you purchase Multigen we can talk.

So, did anyone purchase Multigen?
It doesn't matter what may or may not work, Multigen is what hitech wants.

If I knew the rules of the game I would consider buying it depending on the cost.

I wont, however, go buy a program and be told, "Just kidding."

Ya know?

Multigen is a tool that for most part companies dealing with 3d modeling can afford. Individuals less likely so. Most individuals use open source software, and the question is whether those two can be compatible.

From what I researched Multigen uses a format that is compatible called openflight. Now the question is would models in this format submitted by the community that meet the quality criteria be considered for a model competition.

Maybe just start with GV models for instance? See how that rolls.

or terrain objects...>  I'd have to imagine doing planes is much bigger project than most would realize and be willing to do.  Starting a process small and seeing if it works up sounds a bit more viable.

Here you go guys. This was from 2001, so I have a feeling it will knock the wind out of some of you. It did for me back then, but be sure to let us know who is getting on board. ;)

A little under one million faces......

 :O

The gunsight alone took as many faces as a complete aircraft would normally use in Aces High. Great work....I would die and go to heaven if we could ever have something like that in a game.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I would buy Multigen only if I got hired at $240k a year... its been a few years since I have seen jobs posted but I remember Fort Rucker and NASA both use this software also.

Well my guess, after reading through the site and making some comparisons to software packages I've dealt with in the past, is it's going to be between $10K and $15K per seat depending on what module's Hitech would require us to buy.

But it's fun to dream,   :eek:

You did not think he was going to recommend something viable did you?
