It will always be models, the editor will just make it a lot easier than placing everything inside it with an XML file - it will basically just parse and write that XML file. But you will always be making the level in max or maya or whatever.

putting the finishing touches on for the very first test build of the garage to go to the folks already creating stuff! My default character right now is Baron Von Evelsok

I have mostly been focusing on Polycount since they have been pretty active about making stuff for the game, but we have opened up the garage editor to anybody who can show some progress on working on karts / characters / hats / accessories already.

If you are working on something, go register at the ZG forums and PM marshmonkey with a shot or two of what you are doing.

if you are interested in making something but don't know where to start, information is not all in one place yet - but you can either fish around in this polycount thread or you can start reading through the Zero Gear Wiki I am in the middle of writing.

new post up on the blog: http://nimblebit.blogspot.com/2008/08/z ... pment.html

shows some more of the custom content people are already making. Zero Gear is 1 years olds! wewt!

I have been spending a lot of time polishing up the tracks in our game in preparation for the race mode that Brian is working on. One of the fun parts is adding particles to the level, here is a shot of the mine from Spaghetti West with lots of glowy particles.
