People correct me if i'm wrong, but can't you make games with gamemaker and import the models you made with anim8or with some script? I believe there is a gamemaker exporter on the script page: http://anim8or.com/scripts/index.html. I don't know if that helpfull for you, or if it actually works, never tried it.

I have got another question to do with hgames:
What game making programs are there for making online games and can you import anim8or models onto the game making program? i am looking for freeware
Plus this Polly 3d engine looks really good but is not yet complete, when will it be completed and can you make online games with that?
thanks

no offence (to those who use it), but i can not recomend game maker in any way!
you should learn a programming language instead, like C#, or C++!
i am saying this because you will learn allmost nothing from gamemaker that you kan use later on, if you decide to make something more advanced.
if you allready have some programming expreience you could learn C++ (if not, start out with something easier), and use DirectX, or openGL.

or you could just wait for the public release of the Polly engine ;)

what ever you choose: Good luck.

hello all users of anim8or community, i have been using anim8or for 2 years now, but i decided it's time to move on, anim8or has too much limitations and\or is too simple to make a very complex model, which is what i want to do, and i want to be able to do it easily, so i have moved on to 3d studio max, it's a great program, i just got it this afternoon and i'm already making a spas-12, it's my fav gun, and making it with 3d max is much faster and easier then with anim8or, so, i decided not to use anim8or anymore. good bye everyone, i've had a great time here.

you are too quick to slander anim8oR.

here are a few images created with anim8or just to prove to you what can be made with anim8oR.

the game engine i dowloaded was irrlicht-1.4. I think there is a few languages you can use but i know for a fact there is c++. its got a realtime renderer, and it looks pretty solid. i havent done much with it yet. But, when i do ill let u know how it goes.
