We made Virtools Fundamentals specifically for newcomers to the world of real-time 3D and Virtools unique Building-Block style of development. If you ve just found Virtools and are as excited as we were to get started, then this book is made for you (yes, we mean it!).
It features 11 chapters that take you through installing Virtools and getting it working with your other 3D applications (we use Autodesk 3ds Max) all the way to building a full prototype game, running in the browser, from the ground up.
Virtools is a unique 3D development environment, in that you don t need to be a hardcore coder to get amazing results. The building-block (or schematic programming) system takes a bit of getting used to, so we focus on getting you proficient in the basics early on. Many graphic artists and game designers use Virtools to prototype new ideas quickly and we re confident that once you ve completed the tutorials we provide you ll be very comfortable exploring your own ideas.
There are over 430 pages of full color screen-shots and every lesson is written in a tutorial style aimed at getting a small piece of the final game completed. We also include a shiny new DVD with a full-featured trial of Virtools 4.0 (the latest version) plus all of the assets and scenes used in each tutorial.
We hope you love Virtools as much as we do!
