it good for makeing polygon only stuff and it has a lot of plugins when you install the program and it renders better then truespace and a lot faster. it comes with a full version of milkshape 3d but dosent have all the importers or exporters.

if all you going to is make game models this is the perfect tool.
it has about around $150 or more worth of plugins on the disk.
if you got the $300 bucks laying around and burning a hole in your pocket i recomend just for the freebies and free up grades on the 1.x version of gamespace.

I think it is good if you know what your creating but if want to just mess around and create things or do complex modeling then you need something like 3D Studio Max

How does 3DS Max offer "freedom to mess around" that gameSpace doesn't? If anything gameSpace is far far easier to mess around with. Besides, the price difference is astronomical.

Cheers,

i've used it now... and erm... well i wouldn't recommened it.
not for the development, i'd just recommened getting trueSpace 6.x when they do a special offer instead.

gameSpace crashed on me... ALOT, and this was the 1.1 version. Not sure if 1.2 will be improved. Guess will have to wait and see.
in most other aspects it just like trueSpace 5.x very simple to get into and use, a little awekard at times with the tools but thats to be expected with them being more control based than UI based.

if it didn't crash so much would be a great lil program

I have the full version of gameSpace and it does'nt keep crashing
maybe there is something wrong with the trial version.I think gameSpace is a very good package to have along side DBPro.It has
functionality Truespace has yet to obtain,Just give Caligari an
email to let them know about the trial versions problems they may
be able to sort it out for you.

Now, since I am using trueSpace6.6, I do by GamePAK. gameSpace is the tool which is easy to use. The direction which cannot read and understand a manual can be learned by proTeam (animation tutorial).

Natural! It enables it to see an original animation tutorial by my homepage. please make an animation tutorial. If it does so, everybody will be able to use gameSpace peacefully.

but it is Japanese.

Basic runs even if English is unskilled.

Thanx for the comments, I'm still learning how to model so I don't want to download the trial only to teach myself when it only lasts 15 days.
Though when I've learnt how to model well enough I think I'll go for Gamespace, it looks awesome.

I used truespace for 4 years but i now use max. Truespace not only lacks needed mesh tools but the tools it does have are unstable. I remember on several occations I would have most the verts in my model unweld them selfs when i divided a line.

Mesh tools it missing (just a start):

Edge Turning
Bevel for concave polygons
cut tool
manual face creation
targert weld
tolerance weld

Those are just the modelling tools it doesnt have off the top of my head. I could spend pages listing lighting, rendering, and animation tools it lacks. GameSpace isnt a Bad tool at all.. just that an education license of max isnt much more.

the tools it does have just dont work that well.

additionally the lack of a stack system or any method of layering changes is irritating.
To sum it up truepace/gamespace is like the gremlin of modelling tools and max/maya/xsi/lightwave.. are like audi S4s or BMW M classes.

Gamespace is okay for the price but for most users a 1 year educational copy of Max6 would be better. Not like most people here will actually use it commercially.



Oh and ontop of all of that the undo is bad. You learn not to use the undo and just save new copies constantly... little things like that destroy workflow.

again, gamespace isnt bad... just not great.

If you're just going to mess around then why buy such a tool as expensive, professional and as advanced as 3ds Max? Unless of course you have lots of money... then that's a different matter.
