i thought this was on topic, im new to 3dgs too. you say to learn the programming, but i have no clue what type to learn or where to learn it, thats why i came here. and what do you mean by "broad range of subjects"? i dont want to have to take 6 or 7 courses on pc programming before i can do anything with this, if i need to, PLEASE let me know now. ive already self taught myself how to make 3d models, characters, weapons, and pro game textures. and that was a challenge itself.
