i believe that you can get 3ds Max models into FPS Creator x10 and i was wondering if Zbrush models can be exported into FPS Creator x10?

i think they're to high poly, but i think you could just your limited with polys...
like 300-600 for an object
3000-6000 for an character
and 2000-4000 for an weapon i think.
sorry if this is wrong lol

I know for a fact that Mark (Bond1) uses Mudbox, which is similar. And then I am pretty certain that he puts it over to 3ds Max, lowers poly...maybe? And converts it to fpsc.


DarkBASIC Professional....Mmmmm the possibilities.

i would imagine that mudbox and zbrush would only be used to export the normal maps from as the poly count would be way way to high, or they get it into max and bake the normal maps onto the low poly version.

so yes, for all intense and purposes you can use it to incorparte wth fpsc, it would only be the normal map tho.

Yeah you can, but I wouldnt suggest it...
If I was you, I would make a "Low poly" in max and modify the lowpoly in Zbrush with details, then "Bake" the "High poly" onto the low poly.
This'll cut down on the polygons used on the model and it'll also make it optimised. :3
Meaning less lag, but it still looks awesome. ;D

Dammit Aaagreen! I wanted to correct him! Ah well, just bake your zbrush meshes into normal maps, and you can use them in x10. If you don't know what normal maps are or how to bake them you shouldn't have Zbrush and 3ds Max.

No offense, but that makes little sense...
Even if you don't know what a Normal map is you can still use these packages for other things... Example, Moddeling and animating... Or rendering which is my favourite. <3

Oh, and BTW, here are a few amazing tutorials by Anton Kozlov.
Zbrush Normal mapping:
