Where do I go.....

I''m curious about how to get into Game Programming, when you are a Newbie. I am also curious about the tools you would use?
3D Studio Max runs about $3500 from what I understand and I don''t have the money for that.
So my question is, What do I do?
You can get milkshape. It''s a decent low poly, shareware modeler. The page is at http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft/ .

A lot depends on what kind of games you are wanting to write. If you want to be more specific on what you are thinking about doing, we could all probably offer more info for you.
Good luck and have fun!

If you are new to game programming I wouldn''t be thinking about 3d studio yet... learn to program first.
Well if you want to get into game programming. I suggest you forget about 3D Studio MAx for now .
The tools we usually use are compilers and linkers(usually VC++ or Borland C++),. And the various Software devolopment Kits, such as Win32 and
Direct x.
Then you do this:
1. Learn C++, spend at least a couple of months becoming proficent at this.
2.Then you can get some books on Game Programming. Andre
La mothes "Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Gurus".
learn the various fundementals which are featured.
3. Then it''s up to you what you want to do next.
This is just the start of getting into game programming.
