Entcity was browsing on Dicreet's website ( The makers of 3ds max ) and there they stumbled over some pretty interresting new stuff :
Based on the world's best selling 3D modeling, animation and rendering platform, 3ds max?, gmax? is actually two distinct products 1.Gmax, available free of charge from the web for consumers, allows game players to create, customize, and exchange their own game content online.
2. Gmax developer version for 3ds max 4 (aka gmax dev) is Discreet's new game development platform aimed at level and game designers. It allows game companies to shorten development time and offers the potential to increase sales and extend the life of their game titles by the optional distribution of gmax "game packs."

Already, game developers are climbing aboard the gmax bandwagon. Right now, industry-leading game developers are choosing gmax as their game content editor. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 Professional Edition and the highly anticipated Dungeon Siege will start the ball rolling, and Microids has signed on for a new ATP-sanctioned Tennis title.
