Indeed Nepeccel, Johan said exactly what tools are needed and they cost a ton of cash. If I bought those tools to make sprites I'd like to see a little cash as well to ease that massive investment.

People, please let the silliness which isn't helpful to anyone fall by the wayside...

This isn't about who does what, I merely had questions about modding and model creation and was hoping for answers to the questions.

My primary question now is whether or not EMotion FX is the only game in town for exporting? or is there an alternative?


Please don't make this into some sort of argument which doesn't help the matter in either way.


If you would read the whole thread you would know that Johan gave the answer and that you need a 3rd party tool and this 3rd party tool is nothing you'll get for free... No you have to pay 15.000 € ++ for this TECHNOLOGY like you call it. Or will you say you have this TECHNOLOGY ? :D

If it is like you say, than why dont you start making new sprites for us, for free :rofl:


Ahhhh, could you please link Johan's information too for reference sake? Did he provide any additional information/details?

EMotion FX is nothing but a tool that generates character animations as far as I'm aware. I believe Blender has a character animation tool which may work, you may not get anywhere near the options or power you have with EMotion FX but if it gets the job done then it gets the job done. A program called Unity is supposed to be incredibly powerful and has animation capabilities, I also believe it has a free 30 day demo.

Look around and experiment is about all I can really suggest, nothing ventured nothing gained. Plenty of tools out there that do the main job of EMotion FX, the only question is how does the exporting work. If EMotion FX is special in that area you can head around to various programming and amateur game developer sites and ask if it's possible to create a program that can export it, quite a few will do things that like for free to help fatten their portfolio. Or wait and see if Rost3DSprites get's permission and pay them to convert and export it for you. Really though not much more can be said then what has already been said.
