Software for beginner

Could you detail what you mean by animation a little more? Are you looking for software that can do animation, people who can do animation, or software that can be integrated into a n application that can render existing animations?

sorry

It was a bit vague. I’m looking for a 3d animation game development software package. The idea I have is educational but the I wanted to do it in the style of a first person, point and click adveture/puzzle game. I have programming experience and product development experience but It’s all in financial software and I’m not familiar with animation/game development packages at all.[/quote:2cb76f76ce]based on what you’ve said re: point and click, you could try out Adventure Game Studio (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/) which would be much easier to get to grips with than a 3D package and is available for free

Point and Click was mentioned, but also…

and…

AGS would tick one, Blender would tick all three.

Does any1 know a good java programming software compilere and IDE and does any1 know where i can get video tutorials on 3d max 7???

3dbuzz have tons of video tutorials for 3ds(the same techniques apply across versions) http://www.3dbuzz.com/ click on the video training on the top bar – needs registration.

Found this the other day, haven’t looked through it yet but could be good

Have you considered looking at the Officile Sun Java Website where they have both a compiler and an IDE? Although personally I would recommend Eclipse over Netbeans, but that’s down to preference :P

There’s some good video tutorials on the new Azurerus…forget the name…. legit video tutorials…. not dodgy torrents.

Eclipse serious? That programme does my head in. It doesn’t compiler! I tried jcreator as that doesn’t compile either. I think I will stick to my C++ and HTML. "I can run but i can’t walk" if you know what i mean!

I’ve use Eclipse in the past and I was able to compile and debug java programs using it. It’s a pretty decent IDE considering its free and certainly good enough to get any java development work done. Although, the one thing missing from it is a GUI editor.
