December 13^th, 2001 (12:00am) - Westwood Studios has licensed Discreet’s popular gmax software and will be distributing it on the Renegade CD. In addition, Westwood is creating a Renegade game pack that will allow content created in gmax to be exported into the game. The gmax game pack will also be available as a free download on the Renegade website.

Westwood will post documentation and tutorials for the gmax software on the Renegade website, and create designated discussion forums for the Renegade game pack. The Renegade website will also feature special sections where users can download fan-created levels and skins.

"Action gamers clearly want the ability to build new maps and mods for their games, so we’re giving them a great tool to build with," said Dan Cermak, executive producer of Renegade. "Discreet’s gmax will give hard-core Renegade players everything they need to customize, modify and extend their game."

"Westwood’s decision to include gmax with Renegade further highlights the value of gmax as a cutting edge add-on for one of the most exciting games available on the PC," said Paul Perreault, gmax product manager. "With nearly 50 thousand gmax registrations in two months, it is clear that the gamers and mod communities are excited about gmax and the growing list of gmax-enabled titles," said Perreault.

Renegade is a fast-paced 3D action game set in the Command & Conquer(tm) universe. For the first time, players can experience the war between GDI and Nod up-close and personal as they fight it out on the ground, among the structures, vehicles and weapons made famous in the original C&C. Renegade offers an intense multiplayer experience with a variety of multiplay options, including "C&C Mode," where two teams of players fight to destroy each other’s base.
