uaktags 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2005 for 3d u aint going to find free....ur goin to cough up money one way or another. sorry to say it. But hey, give GameMaker a try, learn of 2d and how u can change 2d n make it 3d (wasn't hard to make Doom style games) then from then on move up to really gettin into 3d engines. Darkbasic i've used before..was really nice i'd say giv htat a try, but again gotta cough up money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cangor 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 Here's my 2 cents worth, coming from someone who has been making games ever since I knew how to work a computer:There's no free program that can get you anything near what I would consider decent. There are several out there, but the end product will ALWAYS look like junk.Blender is a decent 3D modeling program, but let me warn you that 3D Modeling is FREAKING HARD!!! It's taken me forever just to be able to do something that looks semi-professional... And that's using a real program like Maya or 3DSMAX... I've only used Game Maker for 2D games, but it works well for those.When I first started making 3D games, I used DarkBASIC. It is an excellent choice and can create some decent looking results.However, though I hate to dash your hopes, it's impossible to create a professional game for the computer on your own. You could have done that ten years ago, but no more. Games nowadays are created by teams of hundreds or thousands of professionals. When I was younger I thought I could create a professional 3D game as well, but let me tell you from experience - It's not gonna happen. It's not possible anymore. Sadly, the days of indie PC development are over. It is for this reason that I have moved on to developing for the GBA... I can create 2D games that are state of the art.But seriously, you're not gonna be able to get money out of a homemade 3D game... Sorry to be so blunt... Now go outside and have a wonderful day...

garbage 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2006 Blender is only a 3-D modelling and animation tool. You'll be able to make your 3d models with Blender (and animate and render them) but you can't build a game with it.Based on some of the functions in Game Maker 6.1, you could import the models you make in Blender (so it won't look so much like a Game Maker 3d game), but your best bet is to use darkbasic or Blitz3D or the Torque3D engine. Blitz and Torque are ~$100, which is cheap considering what you want to do (and how much work you won't have to do if you buy either). darkbasic will more than likely take some time to get used to (especially if you don't have any programming experience), but it is powerful and cheap. i believe Blender has a new patch where you can create the games now but you will need to look up blender to find more info on it, but the good thing about blender is that it is a free software and it is a very good one at that.. tutorials there are a few sites but they teach alot of what you need to know to get started with them.. so check them out at blender.org Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, you can make 3D games with blender, but you need to know coding... Blender is a 3D modeling & Animation, plus a game enging w/physics and has a built in compiler. I have example game, well, not really games but i have a FPS example that shoots out yellow things at objects, and a cool car example too... I have the latest version, 2.42.
