A note concerning the GameStar Video Interview Summary... Options

[Ambberfox]

hi, just read through the summary by Morganthefay. I think she did a great job, I bought the newest Gamestar issue (including the DVD with the video) and her summary sounds pretty much the way the video looks like
however there's one thing I'd like to add concerning this part of her summary:

Matt Carofano (lead Artist): - on Imperial City scenes in the CS:
"There appears to be a sort of "click and drag" movement with this tool. Looks like it might be more fun and easier to use than the current easy to move the camera around! All the movement is done within the yellow circle, combined with probably a zoom in/out hot key. Very nice!)"

"Now I am not sure if we are also going to get this feature in the packaged CS, but he was able to drag over the render window of the 3D city, a drawn map of the area he was making!"

Unfortunately the "tool" Matt is using there will certainly not be part of the new CS - it's 3D Studio MAX (you can find out by looking at the toolbar) I think it's not too surprising they decided to do certain parts of the world with 3D-programs instead of using CS, it gives the designer a lot more freedom to do what he has in mind. This thought however also includes the conclusion that there will be a feature in the CS which will allow people to import files from 3D-Programs --> good news for those hardcore-modders among us. :lickinglips2: But I might also be completely wrong, we won't be able to tell before TESIV is finished...
