Anybody ever see Blink 3D or play any of the games created by Blink 3D? Someone had asked me about it because they are interested in creating educational 3D "games" that can be accessed from the web. I guess you can actually install game on server and access through browser.

And why didn't you answer my question rather than just complaining about a cross post. But, I do thank you for giving this thread a boost to the top, otherwise, it would have just continued to be buried. This is just the kind of attitude that I do not like about these forums.

BTW, I will not explain my reasons, but I have been hoping for an answer and apparently one will not be forthcoming, so I will drop it. The thread will only be kept alive by whiners like yourself.

well, i'm sorry - i just wanted to know whether you had done it on purpose or by accident. i looked into Blink3d anyway.
i couldn't find much about it. i've never used it myself and it looks ok but other than a few videos i couldn't find how to use it or how to get it.

Apology accepted and very much appreciated. I did do it on purpose only because I wasn't getting a response in this particular forum and thought maybe the geeks have seen or heard anything about it. It's actually kind of expensive. Costs $399.00 US. Thanks for answering my question. It's ok to answer "I don't know" because that does have significance. Also that way I know at least I'm not being ignored.

Not heard of it, but with regards to the 'forum attitude' comment, it's just we like things clean, thus everything thread needs a purpose...we're not pedantic gits, we just try to enforce the AUP as much as possible to keep this a happy and decent place...sometimes the point is easily misinterpreted and some people do get picky about it...but ignore them.


For the price and something I've never heard of, I'm doubtful, but now I'm looking it up...Now I realise it's a game/3d engine, and I might add that there are a lot of game/3d engines of the sort, and it's a good idea to get a feel around them.

I prefer running from DBP as a programming language, but if it's an engine you're after then my only advice is to pick up the demos, try to learn them and see where you get.


There are also good engines for educational solutions, Blink 3D looks up to the job, as are other engines, personally speaking I like NeoAxis...but it's worth trying to experiment as people work differently and prefer different things.

Also most engines of that quality tend to be around the price, the more 'pro' ones are higher in price.

And not having played with engines in depth I can't give any in depth advice, as I've always come back to DBP (thus I am building my own engine in it)

In two paragraphs alone you managed to be unpleasant to whomever read your message about 5 times (my bolds). That has to be some kind of record!

Even if I had an opinion on Blink3D I certainly would not share it with you after that post. In fact, I can't believe blobby 101 apologised after doing the right thing and being called a whiner. Some people are just a lot more forgiving than I am, I guess.

Just to make this clear, blobby 101, I wasn't having a go at you at all. If anything, I was praising your level-headiness in the face of someone who can't tell "forum etiquette" from a hole in the ground.

The world needs more people like you. Here's one on me ->
