I was just wondering if any of you know or think that Starcraft 2 has been constructed using the latest version of 3D Studio Max, which is version 9. If that is true, do you think that Art Tools for SC2 will be released requiring version 9? Just as creating and exporting models in Warcraft 3 required 3D Studio Max 5 for the Art Tools to work. Also, do you think that the Art Tools for SC2 will allow the use of bipeds, IK, etc. Any feedback or guesses will be much appreciated!
Well my idea and also based to the blizzard says that Starcraft 2 will be running in 3-D and i dont get you there, but i think they will using DirectX10 to run this game.. well that is my opinion.
DX10 has nothing to do with the original post. Although Blizzard will definitely not require DX10 because then only people with Vista and DX10 compatible cards could play. And blizzard's strategy is to get the most amount of people able to play as possible. As for the original question. I would guess that they would have art tools be for max 8 or max 9. If you remember max 5 was not the latest version when the art tools were released for warcraft 3.
