Hi, I have a question, (or 3, lol).
Lately, i have noticed a proliferation of 3D modeling programs due to the explosion of the 3D printing industry. I have even noticed programs that can be used on an IPad.
I know we have talked about how Ryzom has used 3DsMax to make the Graphics in the game so it can export to NeL, but 3DsMax is expensive, so an effort was made to make export plugins for Blender which is free.
Is there, or has there been any examination of the new 3D modeling programs out there to see if another program would be better or easier to use, so the players can contribute? Would they have to have 'plug-ins' made also? Is NeL propriatory? Is Blender the best program to use for this? Is there better programs that are easier to use that work also even if they are not free and have to be paid for?
I think overall, I am looking for 'Ease of use' in a program.
~Thanks
