i thought they might only let gmax or 3d studio be used to make models. back when Doom3 was just announced I asked Kenneth Scott if I could borrow his models and he said no so then i asked if i could load his stuff into my program when i get Doom3 and he never answered back. so i don't have a good feeling about it. i really want to be able to load those models in my program so i can finally test my program to see if my logic is right coz it seems hopeless trying to figure out the gaps in the 3ds format info.
