To start off I am try'n to program a 3d video game in C++; as the title says. I am pretty much lost on where to begin here. I am learning C++ currently and have a general idea on the concept of building a game. I have already done what is the hardest part; which is coming up with the game story line, characters, items and such. But now it comes down to the programming part and I am totally lost on where to start here. I have no idea on how to create 3d animated figures or the 3d environment in which they will be loaded into. I don't have any idea on how to setup databases either. If someone is willing to dig in and help me learn I would be most gratefull! I am a extremely fast learner and what i know to date is self taught. If any one knows any good tutorials on how to build a 3d map or make 3d animated characters I would most appreciate it. I think I prolly should have tried making a 2d game first; but I love a good challenge. I learned Html in about 3weeks by myself with only wikipedia just for an idea of my learning rate... I know how big of a project I am tackling and am determined to build it! So PLZ post away with info to help me along with my project!
