Title: Game creation resources
Post by: Inquisitor on November 20, 2001, 11:38:00 am: General Resources: http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html (//"http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html")

There are sonme links to 3d engines there, but what I think are the best are below

Engines:
Fly3D- http://www.fly3d.com.br/ (//"http://www.fly3d.com.br/")
Genesis3D- http://www.genesis3d.com/ (//"http://www.genesis3d.com/")
Crystal Space- http://crystal.linuxgames.com/ (//"http://crystal.linuxgames.com/")
Morfit (not all that good, but VERY well documented)- http://www.3dstate.com/ (//"http://www.3dstate.com/")

Those are all free.

Then there is Torque: http://www.garagegames.com (//"http://www.garagegames.com")

Costs 100 dollars per license
and i think it is the best, easiest to get a game working, well documented, great support community, cheap license, all around good engine. Relies HEAVILY on scripting, the core engine is pretty solid.

All of these require that you at least be able to compile C++, and features from there require varying amounts of skill.

Actually, someone else I know will probably be interested in this as well. I'll have to get in touch with him.

Speaking of which, did HLP ever do up that model archive in 3DS?

If not, does anyone have say, a Ulysses in 3DS format?

In case you were wondering.

THe mech needs ALOT of work (someone found it in a half life map) and ALL of the textures suck, but...

-edit-

Thunder, I don't seem to have you on ICQ anymore, here's me: 37097749

Thanks for the model link, now all I gotta do is figure out why GIMP and Milkshape are fubaring my skins (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
