The fanbase for Blender is increasing exponentially every day, I would expect you to gain quite a bit more subscribers in the next year. The prices for 3dsmax and maya are so unreasonable that it will force many people in the direction of blender. Your tutorials are immensely helpful, thankyou

@ xpannax : what didn't come up?

it dont come up ='[ lol

Thanks for adding me. Awesome Blender vids! :)

where to find models for the blender?

Yes you can make games with Blender using the game engine. Have a look at the "Apricot Project", although that used Crystal Engine (iirc) all the content was produced using Blender so you don't necessarily need to stick with BGE.

Search for "Blender game engine" and you'll see just how versatile the engine cane be, some projects aren't small potatoes either.

Hey I really want to learn how to use blender and create a game with it how long would it take me to create a good FPS with it?

In a word "yes", certainly the AAA top titles. But there are a lot of open source engines out there now that have a reasonable amount of documentation behind them, not to mention Microsoft's XNA dev studio thingy. What you want to do is figure out what aspect you want to focus on and get to grips with modding from that point of view, you can then just change and adapt as you learn/require more.

Hey.

I havn't been on a 3D chat room or games console in 6 or 7 years now, haven't played since I little (20 now).

I used to think I might like being a computer game designer or whatever they are called but never really did anything about, always seemed like fun, not realistic as a job.

I was thinking of having a go on them again, see if I even like them any more.
Are they much more advanced now?
Being much older now they will proberly seem very different, obvoiusly not as fun as I used to find it but hopefully they will pretty good and might get me into designing again.

So if you could point me in the direction of the best ones and how to go about getting started on computer technology designing and so on that would be great.


Thanks so much.

That could be tricky depending on what game you want to add that to/creating content for becasue it'll depend on whether there's a system in place to allow 'animated' fog/mist like that.
