Maya 3D Model Exporter Released by Lumo (PSPUpdates)

Lumo has released a few more tools in addition to his MeshLoader that will help when exporting 3D models for viewing on your PSP. An Alias MAYA 7.0 Export Script to SMSH (Simple Mesh) written in MEL, also his SMSH to 3db converter, including the required cygwin1.dll which he states "now default color is green, next version will support vertex painted meshes!" The image on the right shows an example of how easy it is to export your image using Lumo's tools.

Another section of his site that caught my interest was his filter and blending modes page. Where imported images and the respected conversion image after adjustment are shown. Quite nice work indeed.

He has requested that if you know MaxScript (MS) to please contact him : lumo2000[AT]gmail[DOT]com

2K Sports Announces World Poker Tour for the Sony PSP

2K Sports, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., today announced that World Poker Tour for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system is slated for release this spring. World Poker Tour for PSP features real-life professional poker stars and venues featured in the popular World Poker Tour television series with enhanced A.I. players, customizable characters and online capabilities compatible with PlayStation 2 consoles.

"With the growing popularity of televised poker shows such as World Poker Tour, poker has become a mainstream sport," said Greg Thomas, president of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. "By partnering with the trusted World Poker Tour brand, we are bringing both gamers and poker fans alike the most realistic poker experience available. And now that World Poker Tour will be available on the PSP, gamers can enjoy the game wherever they go."

World Poker Tour for PSP allows gamers to take a seat at the world's most prestigious poker tournaments and make their mark in the virtual poker arena. The game will feature the virtual equivalents of real pros such as Antonio "the Magician" Esfandiari, Erick Lindgren, Evelyn Ng, Lyle Berman, Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi and Phil "Unabomber" Laak.

Online connectivity is a major part of playing World Poker Tour on the PSP. Gamers will have the ability to connect wirelessly with other PSP systems or online to compete against players across the country on both the PSP and the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system. New enhancements to World Poker Tour for PSP include a completely new and innovative artificial intelligence system that allows gamers to challenge more than 1,200 different characters, all with their own unique playing styles and behaviors. Gamers who are able to bump up their career earnings can unlock custom clothes, accessories, and invitational events found only in the PSP version.
