Figure 1-4: The Dungeon Siege game pack includes many interface enhancements

that prepare objects and characters to interact with other characters within the game.

Command & Conquer: Renegade

Westwood Studios decided to create a gmax game pack for their Command & Conquer:

Renegade release. This game takes the hugely popular Command & Conquer game

concept and adds a first-person shooter element.

The resulting game pack, named RenX, overhauled many aspects of gmax and

added lots of new functionality that made it easy to produce objects, weapons,

vehicles, and characters for the Renegade game.

Combat Flight Simulator 3

Following on the success of Flight Simulator, Microsoft developed a gmax game

pack for Combat Flight Simulator. This game’s integration takes a step beyond its

predecessor. The Combat Flight Simulator 3 game pack can export to the CFS .M3D

file format. Figure 1-5 shows a sample plane in the Combat Flight Simulator game

pack.

Combat Flight Simulator is similar to Flight Simulator, which is covered in Chapter

24, “Creating Custom Content for Flight Simulator 2002.”
