I had a good chat with wryd re graphics packages and thought I'd ask the forum for some wider feedback.
Back in '95 when I wrote my space invader game I used a dos based Neo application to draw the graphics. Being able to zoom in helped me to create a reasonable spaceship, nothing fancey tho
I hope to move into the realms of wryd's sharpinvader game and as such need a good 3D package and drawing package.
NOTE: I'm crap at drawing, so need something that will hold my hand along the learning road
Wryd said he used Bryce. I have read the views on Bryce 5.0 on amazon.co.uk which is very positive especially for the beginner! There is also a CD training package for it.
I have downloaded a number of freeware 3D and drawing packages from the web but although they seem feature rich they lack documentation aimed at a novice.
So my fellow dot netters........can you help me with your wealth of wisdom
