The different steps to make a 3D video game - gizmo27 - 11-08-2011
Hi all,
I had a question : which are the steps to make a 3D video game : I mean using Blender for example.
At this time I've got the following tools : Blender, SMFL, OpenGL, Code::Blocks+mingw.
I almost ask the question : Blender can export for example an OBJ format : which is the correct step to "convert" OBJ format into an OpenGL workable code ?
Thanks to tell me with which soft Penumbra has been modeled and with which soft the model was converted into OpenGL code ?
Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, Gizmo.

I know for openGL you needed to use other peoples software such as GLUT and GLEW which is what stopped me because I was afraid of getting tangled up in a bunch of legal issues.
This will help for openGL http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started
Also I'm pretty sure a lot of people will try to convince you to use a free open-source engine or make a mod instead of completely starting from scratch.
