Its been four days since i’ve been jobless. Today i tried to revive my glorious days of OpenGL… but the darned linker didnt let me. Some Dll problem that i didn’t understand and i didnt want to plough in further. For all of those who’d want to start graphics and ultimately be a game programmer, here’s my advice:
- Start off with DirectX Managed Code. Thats coding in C#. You can download VC# Express 2008 FREELY!
- Download DirectX SDK for C# (Google that yourself.. )
- Download some Ebooks on DirectX 9.0c
- Try getting the hold of the scene first. Mean draw some triagles in the first stage, then move to shadings and then the lightings. (Don’t try animations till now).
- If you feel that you can developed enough proficiency with DX, download OGRE3D thats the rendering Engine. Now here comes the animating bit. With the powerful framework of OGRE3D, you can easily render some breathtaking graphics and consecutively some nice game.
So then, shall be waiting for it. Later.
