Me and two of my mates are doing a 3D adventure game. The 3D graphics will be nothing special at all. (Most would probably describe them as downright ugly), but we aim to do a 3D adventure game where we have done EVERYTHING to the best of OUR ability. I will do the programming and my two friends will do the graphics. However, we are pretty clueless as to what program we want to use to generate the maps/levels. We are pretty sure we want to use Maya for modelling, which I assume is perfectly compatible with Dark GDK ?(provided you export as .x, that is). The only considerations we have done on the level editor is to maybe use Cartography Shop. However, will it suit our purposes? Can it export maps as .bsp or is that not even necessary? - Can a map just be a .x file and be loaded by DarkGDK just as easily and behave like a normal .bsp, or what do we need to do?
Please help us!

A map can be any 3D model file. It should preferably be a .X or .DBO file, as DarkGDK has native and well supported loading for them.
