The early years: I started out creating levels for Doom2 using an editor I found on a shareware CD. Later when Duke Nukem 3d was released I did load of Levels for that.

Re: Halo Reach - Environment Dump - Anthony Vaccaro
For textures Bungie didnt have any one person as a dedicated Texture Artist. Textures were generally created by the environment artists as needed.

Re: FBX support for CryENGINE3
When you hit export, you get a save dialog :) This is just a test run really, I'm investigating proper ways of making the process more efficient.
