Thank you throttlekitty I'll check into LHammonds. I'm curious as to what tools where used to create Fallout NV. I'm also hoping they make a new engine this sucker is showing its age.

Ya I have no clue what nurbs are (I'll be looking it up) I figured getting structures to the 3d was all about patients. They all draw in vectors from my knowledge so I figured along the lines of Mr. fronzel's comment of "you can convert nearly every format to nearly every other format". I was just trying to figure out what would work best, there is no way Obsidian or Bethesda used the GECK to model this whole game it sucks, for complex tasks. I would love to be able to bring a handful of blueprints into Fallout NV all the current structures don't feel like structures because there layout is very unrealistically or there plainly just missing stuff. In the end it's all zeros and ones.

So I'm trying to get back into modding, haven't done any since Unreal Tournament and that was just level design. What it comes down to is I work for an Architecture Firm as the IT guy as well as a CAD tech when I'm not fixing something. What it comes down to is I have access to thousands of Architectural drawings for houses, hospitals, government buildings, airports, and even a few correctional facilities. My main question is what programs are best for importing or modeling these structures in Fallout NV. I'm figuring Id use either REVIT or Cad to get to the basic 3d model then add textures and atmospheric feeling in GECK as well as the rest of they typical stuff, (npc, loot, etc) I always had issues with Unreal Engine as I couldn't figure out the unit of measurement and not being able to mod with a measurement in feet drove me up the wall. I know 3d Studio Max is a big favorite of the gaming community and is also a member of the AutoDesk family so it can be used if preferable. My current intent is we have an old jail in town that has fallen into disrepair and as escaped the recking ball several time do to the hysterical society, (we've done the assessment for turning the building into something else and with building codes and its location there literally is no purpose for the building. Meaning they guy who's currently turning the building into offices is going to loose his ass.) And an armory we have in town which is one of my favorite buildings which is also on the condemned list. I understand that there could be some possible security issues with using say a current hospital plan, but I've spoken to my boss the owner/head architect, and he said simply no naming the building or modifying the plan would be more the adequate to avoid problems. Even so I'd probably use most as a inspiration for the final structure. Except if the building itself is no longer standing. So ya whats would be the best applications to use for said purpose. Sorry if this topic isn't in the right place first Topic.

I like the Idea not much of a fan of the existing scope effects it gives me kind of an out of body feel every time I scope somebody.

Not to bad compared to what went through my head... for what ever reason my brain went to "Mars Attacks" with the girl who has her head swapped with her Chihuahua being in the Atomic Wrangler as a prostitute. Either the girls head on the dog, the dogs head on the girl or both. I'm ashamed of myself really. Truthfully I'd probably kill her or the dog every time I saw them. Just for giggles imagining getting good karma for killing them as its mercy.

I always wondered what the simplest way to make unique weapons was. I saw a Mark 3 skin-job for the suppressed .22 pistol and would love to see a mod fore the .22 that added a unique one that did even less damage, but was essentially the same thing as the dart gun in FO3. The skin job was a Black Ruger Mark 3 it was pretty cool. I've never seen the .22 to be a useful weapon just more items to sell. I would even care if someone just added a new bullet type to the gun, maybe something you could craft.

No crap, I use one of my mouse button for ammo change anyways, I was thinking its a complete waste to use the 2 key for ammo change if anything they should have used the 8 key or something less AWSD cluster.

lol For added effect I keep imagining her with Pistol Pete's voice from Goof Troop. It looks actually like a pretty smooth re-texture to me, save the neck.

Dose the FN Five-SeveN even have armor piercing rounds? I though they just used FMJs, I know you can't buy the 5.7 FMJs because they are armor piercing they go right through a vest like a hot knife through butter. Personally I'm a big fan of the FN Five-SeveN I shot one in real life and was instantly sold on the gun, I'm not a major fan of polymer guns, but the Five-SeveN is fantastic. I will say it would be cool if it had a 2 round burst but thats just my thoughts.

Hmm Interesting a Ghoul horse would be pretty cool, although to much skin freaks me, I'm still getting nightmares from the ghoul strippers in Gomorrah. I have no clue how you would approach it. 1.) The horse waits for you exactly where you get off it. 2.) you get an inventory aid Item like the NCR radio so you could call the horse to your location, Horse whistle anyone. 3.) Every time you leave any building the horse is waiting for you and fallows you if your not riding it. Personally I like #2 I also like most people would like to see saddle bags that you can use to have the horse carry your crap. Maybe there's someone who can sell you horses and they have saddle bags as a "mod" for the horse.
