Hi, I am new to XNA however I have written a game (not code) that I want to start building. I don't know the least bit about modeling, however everyone has to start some were. I have basic understanding of code (one semester of java and one semester of C++) and can learn most parts pretty quickly if its is broke down into simple parts.
First things first, I want to see if this community helps and responds to questions or if I would be better off just buying every book I can find.
secondly, I want to start my game with a simple sandbox with a movable model. These models does not need to be animated, or even look good, I just want to get the camera to act how I want it in this 3d environment. I am looking to make the camera follow the model as it moves with control to rotate with the right mouse button and zoom with the mouse scroll wheel.
I have started by using the chase camera example, however I want to change the camera in it to do the functions I stated above.
Thanks in advance for any help posted, or even replies to this post, I look forward to being part of this community.
