How do I load a Terrain Map?

Hi,

I am planning a quick mockup this weekend for a demo.

I want to :

i) createa scene (one building on plain grass)in 3DS Max,

ii) create an animated sprite will move around depending on the user's keyboard input.

My questions are:

i) how do I load the scene that I have created in 3DS Max?

ii) is any file format better than others to export the scene in?

    (e.g., .jpg, .tga; .png, )

Thanks for your help in advance!

If you're referring to a rendered scene from 3DS Max, you could load export in either JPG or PNG format then import the scene as a Sprite in Construct 2.

As for a preferred format, I tend to go with PNGs (which are generally large in file-size but higher quality), then make adjustments later if the loading time is a bit slow.

JPG is a compressed format and you'll lose a bit of quality with it, but you could always start with a high-quality PNG and switch to JPG later if loading times get to be an issue.

Thanks Ugotsta.

Sounds straightforward. Will start this weekend.

Much appreciated.

Mike
