Day 1

Hi all

After researching for several days of which 3D engine to use, I finally settled on Irrlicht.
I have made a number of games, but never touched 3D, so this will be my baby-steps into the 3D world.
The project I have started is an online multiplayer game. Will be exciting.

Hi, firstly welcome to the Irrlicht community.

The project I have started is an online multiplayer game.

Now when I began using this engine I also created games before and was my first 3D graphics experience, so from what I have learnt I would suggest start small then work your way up, not to be negative because honestly I love programming and I love creating/playing games just don't rush in.

[sodandk]

Yeah. I have 20+ years experience, just not any 3D. Last project payed off my house
This time I will own the project myself, no bosses
So what have you been working on, Ravi ?

[sodandk]

First test program running in VS 2010. Run's great... experimenting...

20+ years? Impressive, I assume we can expect great things from you then?

[Ravi08]

Firstly my bad didn't know you were so experienced its just I see people who see this engine and think that they can do it all. Secondly 20 years? I barely have 20 years of life let alone 20 years of experience

So what have you been working on, Ravi ?

Well I create small apps from time to time using this engine but mainly I use Java, still learning.

I also can't wait to see what you create.

[sodandk]

Moving around a in little world I created now. Irrlicht seems easy to use. So next couple of months its planning the game and then learning Irrlicht... but really Irrlicht seems so easy.

Since you are new to 3d I recommend you download one of the many free 3d modeling programs (even if you have no art ability). Messing around in them can get you familiar with many 3d concepts.

[sodandk]

I wont do graphics. Can't draw a line without breaking the pen. A good friend has ton of experience and will do that.
But yeah.... getting familiar with all the concepts. Lots of stuff.
