I'm thinking of purchasing this but I need to know to those of you who have it, can you create your own character/model? Also your own scene? Like can you draw your own stuff with the mouse?

well i know girls aren't the smartest bunch but i believe this is the wrong forum for it.

Not to mention there was a thread with nearly identical name as this only a few posts down.

no diamonds though. the other post was by another name with another topic.

where shall I post this topic? Can someone please help me? No need for rude comments.

Try General Talk - there isn't a 3d gamemaker section as such (the board is more for modellers).

I know Uberwiggett isn't the smartest programmer around, but if "3D Chat" isn't an appropriate forum for posting a question about a product used in 3D game making, we might as well all give up and go home now.



I tried a demo of the program you mentioned and wasn't all that thrilled. IMHO, it was trying to be too many things to too many people, and didn't excel at any of them. I don't think there's a single program out there that will meet all your needs if you're going to create a game from the ground-up.

For model creation, I spent a lot of time struggling with the poor user interface of GameSpace (and also a trial version of its big brother, TrueSpace). I finally gave up on the modeling and bought some commercial low-poly models from Geo-Metricks. From there, it's been easier to use products like GameSpace or MilkShape to do texturing of the models and I'm slowly gaining enough expertise to begin making changes to the actual 3D structures of the models that I bought. I liken this approach to a beginning programmer who starts out by modifying example programs that come with the help files instead of trying to code a 10,000+ line program from scratch. Nothing in the 3D Game Creator program jumped out at me as being particularly helpful in model creation or editing.

You also asked about creating scenes. I think the 3D Game Creator also features some type of level creator/exporter? Again, that type of feature hasn't been very useful to me. The new terrain pack plugin for DBP is awesome (but still has some bugs). I think Bryce V5 is still the best thing around for creating environmental objects like skyboxes, billboarding scenery, etc. Couple that with Adobe Photoshop Elements and a few plugins from Flaming Pear for building planets, "starboxes", etc. and for about $130 you've got some really useful software that you can also use for stuff other than creating games.

So that's my two cents' worth. Very sorry the one poster was so rude in his replies. I thought your question was very appropriate to this forum. It's certainly more relevant than something moronic like "I know girls aren't the smartest bunch"...

i know clueless is pretty clueless when it comes to picking up on silly humor but i'm sure she realizes that this forum is for 3d modelling not making 3d games.

Gee. Maybe that's why she asked a QUESTION ABOUT MAKING A 3D MODEL. And you insulted her for asking this:



Or do you even bother to READ somebody's post before you comment on it?

So how about you and I get this thread back on topic, just in case she comes back to visit? She asked for opinions on whether 3D Game Creator was suitable for creating 3D models. Do you use it UberWidggett? Do you know anything about it pro/con? What's your favorite tool? What other programs have you tried? What's good about them? What's bad?

My problem with what you wrote is that she posted a very legit question for this forum but you insulted her and didn't even try to share your expertise with her. You're free to flame me back for what I'm saying here, but if you do, why not include a few tips on modelling software at the same time?

(edit: I just checked out your web site and your game screen snaps are quality stuff. I think you could have really helped her out on her question)

I'm way of this thread's topic. My apologies to everyone else reading this.
