A few question about Blitz3D

| I currently own BlitzPlus and have Blitz3D demo, however I'm a complete newb at 3D, as currently Im practicing with 3D Studio Max and Maya to make models. My questions are: How big can a world be? Could it be as big as Earth & Beyond ? Which is HUGE. Is it easyer then 2D? I mean can you do betetr animation with your 3D models I mean is it easyer to make them rotate and stuff? |

| World Size depends on a lot of things like: number of Triangles (10'000 to 500'000), Number of surfaces, Fog/NoFog/camerarange, VIS Occlusion?, Number of Animations and last but not least: your Definition of Hardware Requirements for your Release. Some things are easier, some are trickier. One Goodie is you have to animate a Model only one Time and then you can display it from every possible angle, unlike in 2D. To rotate a camera around an animated Mesh, say a bullettime-jumping KungFu Fighter takes you 2 Minutes of Coding, while it would be pretty impossible in 2D. But to model and animate a decent KungFu Fighter might take you a day or two. Unless you gonna use Psionics "Ninja" ;) |

| You trying to put the guy off, jfk?? :) Yes, its easier than 2D. |

| Hu? Why? |

| I think GFK means it's a complicated answer for a simple question ha ! ... |

| >How big can a world be? Virtually endless in every direction, only limited by you abilities as a programmer and the space on your harddisk. >Could it be as big as Earth & Beyond ? Which is HUGE. Yes, but... No computer is capable of representing such huge worlds, having everything in memory at the same time... A part of your 'training' will be to experiment... This is the process where many people feel they aren't getting anywhere, but 'understanding' and developing a sense of how to analyse and conquer a challenge will make you capable of getting around the limitations imposed on you by your PC. >Is it easyer then 2D?

| Well Im practicing 3D max studio is pretty easy so far :) I made an orange lol >.> |
