Over three years in development, FPS Creator sets a new benchmark in the game creation market by providing an easy-to-use yet highly flexible editing environment. As its name implies this is a tool for creating action-packed FPS games with no programming or 3D modelling knowledge required. Using an intuitive and visual Windows interface you literally paint your game world into the scene. A vast range of 3D elements are included allowing you to paint hallways, corridors, gantries, walls, doors, access tunnels, ceilings, lifts, transporters, ladders and more. Segments intelligently attach themselves to each other - paint two corridor pieces side-by-side and they'll snap together seamlessly. Switch to 3D mode and you drop in on your scene for pixel perfect placement of 3D entities. Place a light-switch on the wall and it'll intelligently control the dynamic lighting in the room. Import your own media (sounds, 3D models, textures, shaders). One click and it builds you a final stand alone exe file. Not everyone has the skill to create their own 3D content before starting to build a game - which is why it comes with two theme packs: Sci-fi and World War 2. There are over 300 segment building blocks included, over 500 entity objects (such as desk lamps, health packs, crates), 62 different fully animated enemies, 36 weapons and 66 different AI scripts to control them all. The manual also includes guides on importing your own media to create prefabs, weapons, segments and entities. You don't have to use the 3D objects given to you, adding your own is quick and easy. Changing the textures the models use is just as painless, so you could take one of the supplied barrel models and re-texture it to create any number of them all in your own style. As of 2010, there are 38 additional model packs available for the software. A version for DirectX 10 and Vista named FPS Creator X10 was offered in 2007 that allowed for visually stunning effects including parallax relief mapping, bloom, reflection, refraction, volume soft shadows and soft particle shader effects to be under your control. It had advanced AI Character Behaviours - both hostile or friendly, and it took advantage of Dual Core and Quad Core CPU technology. Also, it allowed game action above and below water. Players can run, leap, swim, dive and even affect the water level. On Feb 5/2016, FPS Creator Classic was made open source and free to download along with Free Model Packs 1-77. | ||
