Hi and thanks for taking the time to read

I'm doing some 3D Work, including 3D Quake Arena type Levels, and Terrain Maps like in 3D RPG's. I am wondering if there is any easy "none programer skills" way for me to take the 3D Level, with tree's, buildings etc. and make it into a explorable application.

Probebly a dumb question, I know VRML does this to some slow rendering degree. but I don't think people really use VRML. I'm hoping for a EXE or Web Application someone might know of that would let me do this, with just walking or flying through the level terrain.

I prefere free at this stage, but I don't mind purchasing 3D Game Maker or something like it, for less then 100$

My intentions are to make a free game graphics resource site for people to download content from. So to better showcase levels and to see how my levels play in a game setting, I would love a way for me to have a downloadable application showcasing a large gaming world to explore.

Thanks again.

P.S.

As a long time Truespace user I'm finally making the plung into Blender. Always overwhelmed me while truespace was always easy. Now I used Blender to take a Gimp created Heightmap and turn in into a 3D Terrain. And it's been around a year sence I've taken a peek into blender. This time all the features seem more exciting than overwhelming. And I know Blender is more High End and alot more feature rich then truespace, and might maker a smoother transaction to SoftImage or 3DSM.

Anyway, just wanted to share that tid bit of info.

Blender has a built in game engine which you may be able to use to make the levels explorable - I've not spent much time using it though. Alternatively use one of the freely available engines, for instance Unreal have provided the UDK for free, there is also Unity.

I'll check them out, expesially the unreal UDK you mentioned.. thanks alot
