Title: Panda3D
Post by: ahref on June 26, 2008, 11:16:49 PM

I keep linking panda3d throughout this section of the forums when users request a 3D alternative to rpgmakers.

Panda3D is a free 3D engine. No its not a game maker in the sense that nothing is written for you, you will have to get your coding fingers out and start typing. It supports a wide range of 3D model formats allowing you to make pretty much anything.

Link (http://www.panda3d.org)

its not bad in terms of graphics either:

Looks really cool. I don't really feel like downloading it, though, since I have no clue what I would do with it.

If it involves lots of coding, I'm not gonna use it. I'll stick with Bryce.

bryce is a 3D scenery creator it cant actually make your games for you. panda3d assembles the 3d models into a game when you code with it.

It seems pretty nice. I might give it a shot.

(Is it just me or does that screenshot scream Shadow of the Colossus? Maybe a fangame of it..? :-X)

Are you sure?
I tried to learn C++ but gave up in frustration. ;8

I'll perhaps take a look.
EDIT:Maybe we can do a collab with this program.

lol :| im still on the beginner tutorials

for C++ you have to control memory management etc and its a much higher programing language.
