Deus Ex Alpha

By the way, just wanna know, on what kind of scale is the modelling? Modelling everything over again, or like the UT2004/07 system, modelling a whole map?

Every piece of content would need to be re-made for the new engine.

Heh. Woulda know it would've been that easy.

Yea, you will have to make
- static meshes for maps (basicly mapping)
- weapons and other items

ouch thats hard !!!! { 4 me }

How many objects are there in DX? + 200 new ones for the one we would be making..

Development of objects themselves isn't really that hard. Ded alone has added 200+ new models for environment for his mod. I cannot say exactly, but i think he has developed by himself only like 1/3 of them, the rest he got from the free public archives. And this was a wise choise.

What is, in my opinion, really hard - development of static meshes and adding them to the map. Maybe because i have no clue how do people do this

Decorations? Or what do you mean by 'static meshes'?

A sort of models which is used instead of brushes in games based on Unreal engine 2 and higher. I mean, of course, mappers for these games use brushes to substract a space from the world, like a room, but everything inside this room is made of these models.
It is still possible to use brushes like we do in Deus Ex mapping, but Unreal engine 2 and higher is shaped for static meshes - lighting system and etc. Plus static meshes are faster.

I have a 600 page + book on 3D game programming, and it includes modeling and making meshes for the Torque game engine using 3D Studio Max or Milkshape. Can always give that a try for the Unreal

By a static mesh, He means rather than brushing a whole room, modelling it, and placing it in the map?

Like grand theft auto - Thats all models..

I have three books, one using 3DS Max, two using NURBS and three; Modeling in Milk, 3DS and Lightwave.
