Well, my modding computer's video card, which is a few years old, has burned out! It's totally my fault. After I started getting some serious looking problems on my screen, I opened up the PC to see what the problem might be. I kept thinking to myself that I needed to clean it, but I never got around to it. And now, I open up the fan cover on my old 7800 GTX and see that there is HUGE amounts of lent inside of it. Cleaning it out didn't do any good, it's permanently broken!
So, I'm going to upgrade my gaming computer, and give my modding computer the video card in that machine. In my gaming PC right now, I have an 8800 GTX; I'm going to upgrade it to a GTX 280, so my modding computer will get the 8800 GTX. At least now I can consider trying to get static models into the CryEngine, although I still need a better CPU in that old modding comp.
On that note, I wish the CryEngine had animation support for something OTHER than 3dsmax. Something that I've loved about Doom 3 is that John Carmack from id software released the source code for their exporters, so exporters could be made for any and all modeling/animation software, and as a result, you can get models and animations into Doom 3 pretty much no matter what software you're using.
With Crysis, all us non-3dsmax users get is nothing. Unless you use Maya or Blender, in which case you can only export/import static models!!! I would love to mod Crysis, but I'm a character artist, and it won't let me!!!
