Anim8or Community

i am a kinda lazy so i only read the first post, but if you are asking ppl to make graphics for your game, show them what you have made earlier, or like in your sitiuation whith no ealier (completed) projects, what you have so far!
i am also making a game, and need artists too, but i wont go and ask before i have something to show them.
its like an insurence: you want graphics, they want proof that they dont put there hard work into a project thats never gona be finnished. simple as that!

greeds

cool!
really useful info in there!
its a shame that you only make a release once a month

well, are you goin for gameplay, or do you just want to see your anim8or models in a game?
i am asking because that you wont get much gameplay from a gamemaker, if your not programming a little!
you may be able to do much in a game maker, but it will never be quite as good as programming... just faster!
please stop sugesting those game makers! your are messing with there minds, and giving them wrong pictures about what game making actually is!

please do yourself a favor: learn C++, or C#!

C++: this is if you want to use directX or OGL! this will proberly give the best result, but also being the hardest to learn! it will require that you have some basic programming experience but with that said, its pretty easy to get started! when you get the hang of it you can get yourself ether the OGL or DirectX SDK, and start making your games.

C#/XNA: Microsoft released the XNA gamestudios wich is a verry easy to learn directX engine for C#. its basicly directX though it putted all the complicated stuff into simple functions. its easy to set up and get started, and theres tutorials on how to display a mesh on screen, move it around, editing light options, and so on.
after that you will have to think by yourself! yea i know "thinking by myself? like actually use my brain? where can i download gamema...." wait a second! its actually quite alot of fun! also think about it this way: the bigger the effort, the bigger the satisfaction.
if you made a game in half an hour i bet you will be thinking: "wow! i told a program to game a game for me! big deal! i can make another 20 of those today!" whats so fun about that!

anyway, my fingers hurt from typing so ill give it a brake!
just think about taking the path of a programmer, instead of a "cheater".


greets

why would you create a new thread when there was allready one, where the exact same question is asked?
and still: learn a programing language (C++ is the most common for game making) and learn ether DirectX or openGL.
even if you use a game maker, like Gamemaker, or the polly engine when its released, you wont be able to make a game in a couple of hours!
game making is complecated, and hard work!
if its something you are not planing to go into depth with, i would sugest you just play the games!

good luck (and shame on you for making another thread about the same question )

good first model! my first model was the one that maked me realise that i will never get good at art, whether its 2D or 3D.
please post more soon! or i might hit you with that thing

i want to know if an8 files can be converted to .x files!

i am asking because i have started working with DirectX and i will proberly be making a small game in nearest future!
its been a while since i have been here, but this forum used to be full of entusiastic animators who wanted to use there skills for something usefull.
so if/when i am making my game i would love to have some of you guys moddeling for me, if you are not to bussy making your own games with the public release of polly 

there may be some dudes with some expensive program like maya, or 3ds max, but since this was the place that maked me started modeling (though ive never been good at that ), and programming, i thaught that i would dedicate my first game to anim8or.

i dont know if ill be maiking a game (got problems with my compiler atm  )! i just wanted to know in advance.

i hope you can help me!
in advance: Thanks
