Wanting to Learn

by Avaun "SCOOTER" Young · in General Discussion · 07/11/2004 (6:01 pm) · 3 replies

I am a new programmer and a life-time gamer. Recently I jave decided to create my own 3d game, I have 3ds Max, and that's about it. I dont know where to start. I don't have any programming skills, and neither do any of my friends. When it comes to computer language I suck. But I am dying to learn. Can any of you tell me the basis of what I need to get started in 3d game creation?

@Avaun: Get that book, and mod the engine. Learn as you go and you'll be fine. There's also plenty of tutorials out there on the TGE, so if the book doesn't cover something you'd like to learn about, do a search on this site and you will either turn up a tutorial, answer, or at least a discussion about it which will allow you to look into finding the answer. And IRC is a nice place to just lurk and watch all the helpful info scroll by as well.
