hi,
i have a friend who taught me a about photo shop.
she told me that she picked up a lot about the program from a few book and magazine.
i wonder as a hobby could one get a book on a program that could make a really nice looking rpg and mmo?
i would only like to try if i could make a few demos of some game concepts like in game sprites who gather resource’s and display intelligence like gettin’ red over blue appeles (whatev)
what kind of program would that even be?
how do you even make the 3d environment objects, people?
i dont know a lot about this sort of thing but i have a lot of game concepts in my head i want to at least look into it. what is your favorite site on the subject? what are good resources to look at, so i dont have to sift thru a bunch of $**t? thanks a buch!-L

3d models are made with programs like 3dstudio Max.
programing is done in languages such as c++, java or any number of proprietary languages.
Sure you could do it as a hobby the people that made myst started that way according to a news clip i saw a few years back. With mmo’s it would be extremely time consuming and probably not a great starting point.
Picking up something like photo shop is far easier then learning to program complex games not that it can’t be done but you will be spending a lot of time just learning the basics before you even get close to making complex game.
You could think of it like watching the freestyle bmx riders sure you can learn to do that but if your standing there not knowing how to ride a bike you have to start with learning to ride and it will likely take a while before your doing back flips (intentionally).
