some very good tools listed here.
@liam, Another user was using "Magix Music Maker", and i believe they had problems getting the sounds working with skyline due to some weird compression etc... I think it was "lordalmighty1" or "TattieBoJangle" who had the problem. StarFire doesn't seem to like this toolset.
I would like to try mixamo fuse and i know that most characters can be exported directly from the mixamo site into skyline. Then when you have an animation, that too can be added directly into skyline using .fbx without the need of a modelling package. Pretty cool
shame their animations are so expensive though.
My Setup:Modelling: 3dsMax & blender.
Audio: Sound forge 9, ableton live( courtesy of StarFire's background ).
Textures: Photoshop(main) and also use paint.net from time to time. Also PixPlant for normals, speculars etc..
Script: Skyline Script Editor
, Notepad ++ with a few extensions.
Game Engine: Skyline lol ...
@AuShadow, Macromedia Fireworks. lol
used to use this myself for splitting webpage images into chunks for faster loading on old dialup lol
Blender playlist: Seems the youtube link is broken for me, i get taken too a page saying invalid parameters.
