Where to start: 3D Jump & Run

| I have Blitz3D for a while, but finally I want to make my first steps towards a full & finished 3D program. I'd like to create a Jump & Run. The main character is a tiny and supercute little green dragon. But I don'z know where exactly to start work. Are there any tutorials out there that explain how it is done? I probably will need some kind of world editor to place all items, terrain, plattforms & enemys. So should I start with this first, instead of the main engine? What kind of camera perspective would be advised? (chase cam like in the castle demo?) Thanks for any help, Grisu |

| i'm in the same situation as you i've chosen to start with the main engine, to learn what i need, how i need it and what kind of stuff that my engine CAN support designing stuff on paper sounds like a good idea though :o) |

| Look in "User Projects" for my thread "Ninja test of 3D platformer controls." There I posted a download for a demo of 3D platformer-style controls and camera control. The included source code may or may not be useful to you but it's probably at least worth a look. |

| @jhocking: Will look into it. Thank your for the hint! @myspys: How about forming a team? I already have an artist making me modells. - But I like working in small teams. Only one cons: The main hero has to be this tiny dragon, if that is ok for you? :)  (Early Alpha work, non-final in no way!!!) |

| grisu, heh.. thanks for the offer, but no thanks just trying to get to grips with 3d-stuff in general trying to make a quake 3 clone to start with (yeah, you can laugh ;o) when that's done, i'm ready to start doing 'real' stuff :) |
| ||
| No problem! Quake3, why should I laugh? It is a fine 3D shooter! Well, I prefer the cute looking and non-violent things. But with the power of BB, you can do what you like. And that's what count. Wish you luck. |
| ||
| well, laugh because it's quite a complex thing to start with, i think anyway ;) heh.. non-violent and cute things are good my gf likes them :) thanks, and the same to you! =) |

Here are some cluse COnst -1 then select a key that you want to use for goign up. an use the key hit command. then entity y +5 or what ever you want and he will fall to the ground. If you like ill look up a code for oyu let me know if you did to find what your looking for. |
