First 3D Project

Posted by NitroFaber on Oct. 6, 2007, 1:10 a.m.

Today I started my first 3d Project, Cubefield!

Cubefield is an already made game on the internet where you are a small triangular polygon which is speeding through a field full of cubes. Your task is to avoid the cubes for as long as possible to get as many points as possible. You can check it out at http://www.wimp.com/cubefield/

I will be using d3d and seeing as it is my first 3D project, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Another challenge I have come across whilst trying to make is game is making it in 3rd person view. As I have no idea what I'm doing this has been difficult. Anyway, you should be able to see it come out in about a few days from now when I finally figure out how to do it! This will also be my first actual released game, so I'm very excited!

Heh,that game could be done without d3d pretty simply with some primitives

I have no idea whatsoever how to do a third-person camera angle besides having the extension that does it for you, but I dn't really like it.

Drawing 3d shapes, stuff like that, that's easy. Just make it in a 3d modeler.

Erm. No. Why should there be?

Just put a camera object behind the player.

Infact that game type is covered in a tutorial by Mark.
