Noted, some feedback on what it should look like would be nice. Without feedback I'll simply use my imagination :D . But seriously, I don't want to make animations (loads of work) for nothing. The license: My school purchased a rip-off license, the only useful stuff I could get were Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 pro. It's all Micro$oft crap and it doesn't even have any (complete) version of Office, only MS Project and MS Expression Web. Posing, modeling, making clothes, animation, it's almost a complete list. The only thing missing is making weapons. Just so you know, the land/heightmap is made using a tool that is removed from our GECK. Blender has a built in physics and game engine, top that. Having a variety of different 3d tools is better than sticking with just one tool. (killing myself here) Blender has less buttons than 3DS but uses plenty of key-combos and such. 3DS has better memory management, I know that much and know the difference it can make.
