Carolyn Koh files her third report from the recent Online Game Developers conference. In this article, Carolyn had the opportunity to talk to some of the people over at Cryptic Studios about their recent decision to release their animation tools to the general public.
Read the whole article here. Cheers, |

Current MMO dev teams = Keystone cops.A pure comedy of errors,sadly its not as intentional. |

Well done. Its VERY rare that dev teams actually do something that deserves praise, but from all angles i currently see on this, this does. And god knows, the industry needs NEW people with talent more than anything else.And if this move makes it more possible that such people with get into the industry,Im all for it. |

I think this is a great idea, but only wish it didn't require 3D studio Max to use it

Originally posted by project8six Agreed 86. Some people will complain about anything. The point isn't "oh now I have to buy 3D to use this" If you aren't the type of person to tinker with 3D before, then this most likely not something you would ever use anyway. |

Well I can understand people that read this article being upset a bit with the fact you need 3D studio Max, because of this statement: "CrypticAR will allow animators of all experience levels to familiarize themselves with some of the tools used in a professional development environment." It does say of all experience levels, so one would think that includes unskilled or animators just starting out at the very least. Anyway, i'm sure this statement is what makes people think its for anyone that wants to try it. |

You know, it's entirely possible that he was complaining because he uses Maya or Lightwave and doesn't have 3dsmax rather than he doesn't know how to use the software.

How much is 12,00? I am a little confused here is the quote
"We've had 12,00 downloads so far," said Shayne, repeating the number in awe, "12,00. That's about twelve times what we expected." maybe i do not understand the number cause Im not an animation person |

It's a correction to 1,200. I just talked to Stradden who heard from Cryptic. Somone mispoke - I think he meant twelve hundred, not twelve thousand. OR it could be my English education. After 25 years in the US, I'm still not used to hearing the colloquail usage in speech - saying "twelve hundred" instead of saying "one thousand two hundred." It was repeated several times and I wrote down 12K each time. :p Cheers, Notice: The views expressed in this post are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of MMORPG.com or its management. |

Your existence is a drain on valuable resources, do the world a favor and remove yourself forthwith. |

Wow, I mean... WOW. This is going to rock, there is only so much one can do with bips (as far as I've fiddled with em). I'm going to absolutely love seeing what I can create with this.
