Might try my hand at AC. Started modding back with MCO (Motorcity online) for anyone who remembers it. Been out of hobby for many years. Might try my hand at it again as a looks like the game to do it in. I'll read up while I'm gathering software etc. one quick question does zmod3 have any use ? And what programs should I start with?
Everything for AC (cars and tracks) runs through KsEditor, which is part of the SDK included for the game. KsEditor will read FBX meshes and DDS textures. So if Zmodeler3 has FBX export, you should be good.
