I'd love to get into game development, especially 3d but I'm not really sure where to start. I was thinking C++ and a modeling program such as 3ds max. The only problem being is I have no prior knowledge in either. Could anyone "Spoon feed" me a bit as to where I could find some tutorials and resources etc?
Thanks

This girl teaches you basics of game programming, using C++, but it's not 3d, but you should learn 2d basics before going to the 3d phase.

Also, if you're ever stuck with the tutorials, feel free to PM me any time; I can probably help you out.

I recommend you get involved in another project first (successful or not) to gain some experience in game design (I assisted in scripting 3 games, 2 were dropped ones being remade but my scripts are still implemented. Even though they failed I know a lot more than I did

)

Yeah 3D is very hard start of with a few 2D games

I would recommend in using a game engine and learning to import your own models etc.

-Orge3d
-Unity
-Panda3d
There are many others, look on Devmaster.net

Good Luck.
