Hey guys,
I have a dawnting task ahead of me and I am starting from pretty much scratch. I havn't worked with Dx since 3 or 5 and back in VB with a special ActiveX add in.
I am starting a project that requires me to program a 3D game in which I can add BASIC charactors, maps and models. I mean this is low tech just a way to show people around building in 3D and sometimes have fun. I will use C++ for it but I have no clue how to start.
Is there any FREEWARE or GNU 3D engines available that aren't too bad to program for. I am fluent in C++ so that isn't a problem. Should I use on of those or just start from scratch with my own VERY BASIC engince with some DX API calls. Any help would be great thanks in advance for the help.
