xanonymous Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Aside from IGOR, you will need 3D Studio Max to create the map model, Photoshop to create the map textures, and all the import/export plugins for those two applications to be able to handle Ghost Recon model and texture files. As I recall, the plugins can be found in the download section of this site. The plugins require 3D Studio Max 5 and Photoshop CS 2 as they are not compatible with newer versions.

chaosm Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) thanks for that but is there any links for them , but i will try to google them my x-fire is all ways on links are good to i may get the wrong one is Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended ok and Gmax which as far as I've told is almost identical to 3ds max, what do you think Edited November 8, 2008 by chaosm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlookian Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Not sure about CS4 (I have CS2) but the plugin is easy enough to come by (in the extra folders on the Island thunder disc). Just put it in your photoshop plugins folder and try to open any .rsb file you can find in your various GR folders. You'll soon see if it works or not The big problem is getting hold of 3dsmax You'll need an older version (4 or 5) as there are no plug ins available for later versions The disk used to be given away with "the 3dsmax5 Bible" or "3dsmax5 for dummies" but copies of these are few or far between In addition to this you'll need to take out a second mortgage to pay for it (although you do get a months free usage, which is generally enough to snare you for life) To my knowledge no other 3d prog will work. Welcome to the family (although it is a disfunctional one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Any version of Photoshop will work with the plugin that comes in the GR CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larr Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 i got my full working 3dsmax on eBay. i went to "want it now" on eBay and posted that I'm looking for 3dsmax 4 or 5 and received a reply for it. i also bought the book 3dsmax 5 for dummies which had the trial CD in it on eBay,had to request it through a seller who was selling those "for dummies" books and the person had them in stock but was not advertising them. hope this helps. larr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
