Chapter 1 ✦ gmax — The Possibilities
For details on using the Flight Simulator game pack, turn to Chapter 26, “Creating
New Scenery for Trainz.”
Figure 1-3: The Trainz game pack changes the gmax interface slightly and adds
some exporting features.
Dungeon Siege
After Flight Simulator, Microsoft released a game created by Gas Powered Games
that relied heavily on gmax and allowed users to customize every aspect of the
game to create their own adventures. The game was Dungeon Siege and gmax has
made possible the creation of Siegelets that number in the hundreds.
The Dungeon Siege game pack is called Siege Max. Alongside a separate Siege
Editor, it forms part of the Dungeon Siege Tool Kit. With these tools, you can create
all the objects needed to populate the world of your adventure.
Figure 1-4 shows an image of a Sand Golem character created by Team Elemental, a
group assembled to create a unique Dungeon Siege adventure.
The various tools included in the Dungeon Siege Tool Kit are discussed in Chapter
25, “Creating Adventures with Dungeon Siege.”
