I was just wondering, I've been really interested in beginning a 3d project and I would like to know what are some good 3d dev programs that I could use and pick up easily. I've been testing out Torque but it's more of a FPS designer than anything and I'm really looking to make an action/adventure game.

so if anyone could, could you please post me some good dev programs for 3d games?? please and thanks ;D

Torque Game Engine's hardly an FPS designer; it's been used for a lot of other programs, and the only reason you think it's based around FPS design is because, for the most part, that's all you've seen. Look at the racing demo; that's hardly the same as an FPS. There are a lot of systems common to FPS games that stand out that are in other genres, but you dont see as much.

But if you still want something else (though I recommend looking deeper into Torque), I'd recommend trying 3DGS or DarkBASIC Professional.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

DarkBASIC Professional.
Oh dear god no, for the love of god no!!!! *vomits*

Try Blitz3D, its amazingly simple and shoudn't take more than a hundred lines of code or so to set up a simple FPS.

Hey, it's SOMETHING to start out with, and since I never tried Blitz3D, I couldn't suggest that, and I couldn't think of anything else to help a complete newcomer <_<

ROFL, yeh I remember that piece of software, I can't believe I spent money on it ^^. Mind you it was one of the first pieces of software I ever bought for game development, so I guess I can be let off.

lol Fps creator is almost as bad....

 Anyway, I agree with Helios, try Blitz3d. It is easy to learn and you can get alot done in a little amount of time.
