Computer Graphics help?

[NewBie TeCh]

Anybody know wut programs FF8 or FFX used to make their computer graphics? i wanna know cuz ima start a little project of my own lol

I would do some internet searching to find out. Likely they're using pretty upscale equipment and software (Maya, its equivalent, or better). They're also likely dishing out thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for software and equipment. They also likely have a staff of people working for them.

ffx,ff8 were done(as ewomack said) with maya,now the maya the bundle cost about $7000..and from the great modeling you can tell that they had special nodes for that which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars......so good luck ...lol

Good luck with Maya! It's not easy and on top of that you will need a game engine...I would suggest TrueVision3D or Counter-Strike: Source engine, and then you will need to know C++. Good Luck!

in my school you have to major in one part of maya by the end of your 3d semster..it a very big progarm..no way hey would be able to do that by himself..i mean there is modeling/lighting/texturing/AI/...etc..
