Number One Priority: Reduce and eliminate the bottlenecks that had been such a nuisance during BG2. I decided to adopt several different software packages. 3D Max allowed us to integrate animation and area art to a much better degree than previously. The animation speaks for it self. We have more, and better looking areas, fly-throughs, and spell animations in the game than ever before! I won't pretend it was a perfect transition, it caused me many late nights (and Russ to invent several descriptive and colorful phrases), but in the end it was well worth the switch.
