Forums Index >> Modding >> ATTENTION ANYONE: Using maya to create terrain?
Page : <1> :
Nope. There isn't a way to edit the terrains in Maya. Or 3dMax, or Blender....
You can use it to make objects for mods. But not terrains.
Sry... I meant objects. In real life modeling it is all just called terrain. Do u know how to do it w/ maya though? I really don't like blender that much! If u could do it on maya u might be seeing a mod that has space ships flyig around and cave trolls pooping out at u soon. That is, if I can figure out the whole scripting thing! Could someone help me with that too? Please?
Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.
The tools you can use - 3dsMax, Maya, Milkshape, and Blender can be used to make the objects. Actually 56k you're not COMPLETELY accurate, you could use the program apply a gradiant on a planar basis and to a sky side render and you've got a heightmap :) Port the heightmap in using the terrain editor and viola!

Thx, but how do I export the maya files to.dts's? U can olny export it as an.mp. If u could help, I would be in debt to u forever!

1st. Gaminggeek, I use Maya, and shapes and terrains are NOT the same thing. Sorry, they're just not.
2nd. 56k, Brian Greenstone from Pangea Software made a hieghtmap exporter for Maya, so yes, it's possible.
3rd. Look here: Maya2DTS
What about Ultimate Unwrap 3D?
EDIT: Thanks, Chill. I just got Maya PLE, and Blender's export ain't workin'. Maya+Wings3D= Hello, entry to the modding contest! (Ishbuu's contest, of course.)

Oh, I have a 4th... MayaPLE CANNOT Export dts's!! %)
NOOOOOOO! And when I meant real life, I meant REAL LIFE. Like, wargaming, trains modeling, sci-fi sculpting (this is the kinda stuff I do when I'm not figure skating ot on ptt)
@ dj- If u have a wings 3d that wokrs, I could send u some maya files, and then u get them into the game by anymeans possible!!! Combined, we would be unstopable!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hi all. If some super savvy modder culd exparement w/ this, please tell me. Maya is a 3d modeler, animator, and game maker (if ur really good). What I want to know is simple: can u use maya the same way u use blender. It is a MUCH better program, and I actually know how to use it well. I already tried to see if u could import.mp files into blender, but I couldnt see a way to do it! Plz help!
