Worlds

[quagmondo23]

I know it's kind of a stupid question but how do people make their in game worlds for games like Fable, oblivion and mainly GTA4? I was thinking software like sketchup or 3ds max but wasn't sure. Does anyone know?

3Ds Max is a very powerful software. Here thegames made with it:

Sketchup is created by google mainly for creating 3D buildings for Google Earth, it is not a powerful tool.

I don't know about 3dmax, but definitely not sketchup. Sketchup is a free program for architecture. It's like a baby brother to other cad programs.

Well... I just thought it might be used.

In one of the inside fable 2 videos they say something about using it.
