This tutorial is still UNDER HEAVY CONSTRUCTION. We've only just started it, so only a few sections are available and we still haven't added any sketches, files and images. Please be patient, we're working on more content as you read. On this page we'll try to list everything you need to start creating your own online 3D games and applications. We will bring you our vision on how to create 3D games. We've devided our overview in 10 easy to understand steps: Step 1: An idea is a good place to begin! This is where it all starts... Step 2: Analizing the elements. Time to break apart the idea. Step 3: First 3D steps... Building basic 3D elements needed for programming. Step 4: First scripting steps... Set up your 3D world, load models and show everything on screen. Step 5: Interaction. Start game programming. Step 6: Artificial intelligence. Let's make your game smarter. Step 7: Points and score. Keep track of your points and score. Step 8: Replacing 3D models. Time to make your game a little nicer. Step 9: Adding intro, info, instructions, menu and exit-screens. Make you game beautifull. Step 10: Publishing your game. Get ready to play. If you've finished these 10 steps, you'll have a pretty good idea on how to make your own 3D game! Offcourse you'll have to learn a lot more code and/or 3D modelling, but learning's fun! SOFTWARE: (UNDER CONSTRUCTION) - Programming software: Macromedia Director We use Macromedia Director MX to do the programming side our games. You can download a free trial version of the software on the MACROMEDIA website. (www.macromedia.com) BLENDER 3D We haven't used this program yet, but is't free and the possibilities seem great! Check it out, it could be just what you're looking for! (www.blender3d.org) - 3D Modeling software: There are a lot of different programs available for 3D modeling... We've been using 3D MAX since version 1.1 but any other 3D software that can export models to the W3D format will do! You can download a 30 day free trail of "3D MAX 6" from DISCREET.
