Try the blender Wiki also

http://mediawiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Manual

or download the the documentation for the blender game engine

[elander]

I think the downloadable documentation is not up to date but im not sure. The wiki version of the manual is allways the most up to date.

The Summer of Doc initiative this year his bringing some of the best tutorials i have seen:

just ran into these beauties:
http://ocw.tufts.edu/Course/28/learningunits

a very complete blender course, not very game-oriented but great for anyone who wants to learn blender inside out.

Includes video tutorials, pdf tutorials and blender files.

happy reading!

[GameDude]

Noob to Pro is one of the best Blender tutorials around.

I am just goig thru Blender 3d: Noob to Pro. I've just just downloaded the whole wikibook for offline reading and assimilated into a single file (about 1000 pages). If anyone wants it, please let me know.
I am noobie here. New to blender, to 3D modelling, and to game creation. (But not game playing he he).. so i have a LOT to learn yet.

I have a Super noobie question.. Does Irrlicht engine complement the Blender? Or they are separate lanes? How much of my blender developments can i use in Irrlicht And how much should i do anew? Or is there somethings i should better start up with Irrlicht instead of Blender?

Thanks
Raj

Welcome Raj!

Blender is a great tool, but unfortunately you can't load .blend files with irrlicht(unless you code your own loader).
Of course with blender you can export your models/scenes to other formats like .x, .3ds, .md2, ecc. (for individual models i recommend the .b3d format(not built in blender, search around here for a copy of the exporter), which is widely supported by irrlicht(smoothed normals, skeletal animation, diffuse texes and so on)). Another very good alternative is the irrb 0.4 exporter
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=27073.

Or is there somethings i should better start up with Irrlicht instead of Blender?

Just my 2 cents, I would start first with irrlicht because you can find models and texture to display in 3D on the internet without making them for yourself (but your own models and texture would make your game more original and personal).

Good luck at irrlichting and blending !

PS:next time instead of reply to a three years old topic, make a new topic for your questions .

EDIT!
Sorry :/
Didn't realize there were multiple pages (Thus I edited out my response to the bottom poster of the first page!)

Anyway. this is a nice resource (though I found it earlier :/)

Hi,

i found for a while "the best german video tutorial" ever!
I´ve learned a lot of these videos, too.

They are awesome, and they did 50 videos about modelling in blender 2.5+ -
but its in german, but I think you can learn form them a lot. They really did a great work.
