Pre Rendered Backgrounds

[Guest Kaptain Kommunism]

Do you know which program(s) are used to make the Pre Rendered Backgrounds?

[Avenger]

GemRB doesn't come with any.

 

But, i know people who used 3dsmax to create bmp files and other people to grab bmp's from other games.

All postprocessing of these BMP files is possible with DLTCEP.

 

I also saw some people using pregenerated tilesets with IETME. (though i find this method inferior)

Sweet, cheers

You can use basically any 3D package to create backdrops for an Infinity-style engine. 3DS as Avenger pointed out, Maya, Lightwave, Blender, etc. etc. Anything which can give you an orthographic projection is suitable.

 

You could, in theory, draw them freehand in a 2D package as well, but it would be brutally difficult to keep things like perspective and scale consistent. (Although I suspect Shoplifting 2 may have been done freehand.)
