  2. The Cananimator Cup: Bat Vs Stick... Plus Maya

Fri, 12/12/2003 - 22:48 by narcogen

According to SketchFactor, there's another edition of Ask The Cananimators up at Bungie.net; I think this is the third installment. It's about bacon again. And hockey. Well, what do you expect, they're Canadian.An interesting note in this is that both the Cananimators use Maya to make their animations. The animation package used to make mods was a sticking point for many Mac users, because Gearbox said that to import models into the Halo editing tools, you'd need to use 3D Studio Max or its free younger sibling, gMax. Both packages run only on the PC. Maya, of course, runs on the Mac OS. So Bungie animators, developing for the Xbox, are using a program that can run on the Mac... while Gearbox's porting team developed a version of the editing tools that apparently can't work with Maya because there's no filter. Hmm.
