Hi, all!
It's quite possible that I don't understand something,
but why not use Blender (http://www.blender.org) for
3d stuff to generate tiles, and not 3ds max?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Blender only became GPL'd in late 2002, while back in 1999 when we started, James(the artist)'s video card didn't run Linux very well so he used 3ds max in windows.
There was a lot less cool free tools and libraries back then, which is why it was called xtux, not SDLtux :)
