don't know what to use!

Miscellaneous Forums/Content Creation Tools/don't know what to use!

i'm so confused on how to set up the pipeline to make what i need to make.

we have MAX, and we can use whatever other tools that are necessary. I'm happy to get whatever is necessary. i am just unclear on what that is!

Could someone please give me a clue what would be the workflow to create levels like you see in this concept?



it's always top down camera angle, i don't need vistas or skyboxes. Is it still a terrain? Should I be doing this:

1. MAX for objects
2. bring those into TED for terrain (and texture blending)(and object placement?)
3. take all that into [g]iles for lighting??
4. bring it into blitz from there?

any help is greatly appreciated!
