Constructor

I was woundering if there is a date on constucor and if I should hold out before buying 3d world. I've been trying to hold out for constructor because onthe web site it says coming soon but that was six months ago. My luck I'll buy 3d world and then they'll release Cunstructor.

He he he...sweet problems, well I don't know about Constructor release date but you are not only one who is waiting for the constructor to come.

I don't want to buy 3D world becouase it's not designed to work especially with torque (and that's really important to me).

What program should I use then Quark is not as good as 3d world I've been using it in TSE but it does'nt look as good. Any suggestions.

I've heard the program author say that he is working on a full 3D World to Torque pipeline right now. I can't wait around for 'someday' to come as far as Constructor, as good as it sounds.

I think if the pipeline for 3Dworld gets completed before constructor is released, GG will lose some sales to it.
I'm not so thrilled with Quark myself.

I am currewntly doing things this way, since Constructor should be available this year (at least that's what it says on Constructor snapshoot).

I am creating my levels with quark but I am creating only basic things (road, walls, crates, ....) and leaving more advanced things for the constructor.

I ve heard that cartography shop is good, but you will need torque pipeline for exporting (easier exporting) and that also cost altough tpipeline is not finished yet.

So basicly you are stuck with quark until Constructor arives.

IMHO of course!

I think the pipeline is complete. Don't quote me but I think I saw it last week go to www.sickheadgames.com. let me know if I'm right.

The Cartography Shop to Torque pipeline tool is done, I'm playing with it at home right now.

Cartograpy Shop should keep me going until Constructor arrives, then I'm switching.

Does the Cartography pipeline work good with Torgue.

Isn't cartography shop and 3d world the same thing?


I'm confused

I hate to admit I haven't heavily used the pipeline yet, the few objects I've made (just to make sure it was working) don't exactly qualify as stressing it.. no errors on your basic empty rooms etc., though, and I find Cartography Shop a lot easier to deal with than Quark.

3D World Creator isn't the same as Cartography Shop, 3DWS is supposed to be CartShop++ iirc.

I use Cartography Shop and the Torque Pipeline combo and it works VERY well. Cartography Shop is easy to use, and, with the Pipeline, has everything you need to make Torque interiors. Although, I'm sure the Constructor is going to be even cooler. =)

I was just going to mention that I saw a .plan a few minutes ago where this was discussed.
My question is still the same though.
Will you please for the love of god, take my money and sell me the product, even if I don't get it before christmas I would still love to at least have an order placed for it.
