Well, I bought the commercial 3DGS. I've been using Animation Master for a while so I have a basic CG knowledge. The modeling interface seems similar, yet more challenging. I don't really have any understanding of how to navigate or program. I could go on about my incompetence but i'll skip it. Does anyone of any good tutorials for EXTREME newbies?

Thanks,
Masna

Here you can find a good step by step tutorial how to make a complete game with gamestudio. The Rudi project, including all sources and the workshop have been kindly provided by Christian Behrenberg, a.k.a. HeelX.

There is the Acknex Magazin with many issues and a huge collection of step by step tutorials and tips, there is the Resource Site, there are the magnificent tutorials from the user Kinji (now Kinji_2007).
The links to the first two are at the bottom of the forum's page, called "resources" and "magazine". Don't know where the Kinji tutorials are hosted at the moment.

EDIT: These are not about programming about Lite-C but C-Script, what is the older still common script language of the engine.

No, it's fine. Most of the people on this forum are German. (From what I can tell)

Hi Masna,

I am sorry that the workshop is only available in German language, though. If you are looking for something special - contact me via PM or IM. The whole source, though, is written in english with english comments, so you should be able to figure it out.

$\:\)$ I hope that it helps you a bit.

Cheers,
Christian

Hey Unit,
Glad to see I'm not the only newbie out there. $\:\)$ I'm also glad that I'm not the only one who thinks lite-c is gibberish. (For now of course.)
