View Full Version : Beginner in 3D programming I started to have
an interest in 3D programming, and want to learn more about it.
Can anyone tell me what book to read and which programming tool
I should use. I have read about 3ds Max,but can't afford to buy
it. Is there a freeware out there which I can download.
04-14-2002, 06:11 AM I am a little confused by your post. Do you
want to learn OpenGL programming? Or do you want to learn how to
make 3D models? Or both? What confused me was your comment about
3ds Max, which is used to make 3D models (and other stuff), but
in itself is not used for 3D programming in general. So at this
point, I'm not certain which tools to suggest. If you want to
program, what programming language do you want or need? If you
want to model, there are not very many freeware 3D modelers.
There are several trials of various modelers available, a search
should easily bring them up, also if you want to get into
modeling, I'd suggest you visit http://www.3dbuzz.com/ and get
thier free CD tu
