Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Best co,bination of software

What software combination do you lot use to create your Blitz games?

Taking into account the game world, modelling, texturing, 2d artwork, skinning, animation and all the rest of it - what is the best combination?

ie. Maya + Worldcraft + MSPaint (Bad example but YKWIM!)

Max/FT2/Unwrap3d/Blitz3D/TextureMaker 2.5

What is FT2, if you don`t mind me asking?

Fast Tracker 2 / MOD Creation....

Ahhh ok... :)

Anyone else?

Milkshape -for modelling and as an interface to CharacterFX
CharacterFX - Rigging and Animatiuon
Quill3d - Level Building and some modelling (still learning)
PaintShop - 2d Art
Texture Maker - Textures
Cubasis - Recording and Mixing wav files for later conversion to mp3.

Look in "Other Tools." That's where this question should go but more to the point this question has been answered many times (the latest is "low budget game dev;" an older thread I started is "art workflow" on the third page.) Some of my fave tools not mentioned are Wings3D, GIMP, and Ultimate Unwrap (okay, so that last one has been mentioned but it bears repeating.)

Just like my question ;) (j/k!) :)

Certainly NOT the best. I am still learning, and still saving up. So at the moment, I use:

3D Canvas (not very well!)
Worldcraft (not very well!)
Maplet (free version) (Still learning)
Decorator (still learning)
PhotoShop 6
Cakewalk and CuBase(for music)
Music2000 (For sound effects)
MSPaint
Amabilis Photo Studio Special Edition
GIMP
Various Free/Share utilities for little touches and other effects
DarkMatter (Yeah, I know. But I can't make my own models for toffee :) )
Iris Texture Creator

I use

Maplet
Zmodeler
Goldwave 5
Paint Shop Pro 7
Blitz+
Blitz3D
Protean

Pretty much in reverse order of importance ;]

Click and Create
PSP8
FT2 (or Skale.org)
Goldwave
Blitz2d (or blitzview)

Click and Create? You have Blitz so what do you use that for?
