Overtkill Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 The same presentation in the spec docs? Back in my content dev days, we actually had a architect tool that was based largely on 3DS Max, Maya, with a tad of Autocad. The basic tools predated this game and changed little with the exception of 3D object import and handling. Its indeed pretyy cool to see the development cycle of the different in house tools from waaaay back. Our original tool prior to the Architect tool was DOS based, had the old school horrid colors of the DOS era, and would give anyone a headache after staring into its green screen with red lines all day.

Searing Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 yes it is the gamesutra 2002 powerpoint presentation by eric wang showing a limited number of screens for the old tools back in the day again our dev tools now are light years ahead of those then (not sure if the devs want to show a screenshot or 2 of the new tools or not) but anyway might be of some note to those who back in the day were curious enjoy searing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
