 Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2005 9:44 am Post subject: how feasible is 3d psp development for a newcomer? |
 |
|
| i'm a comp sci major and have had 3 c++ courses. i am very interested in game development and would love to start programming on the psp. how feasible is this? i understand the graphics library for the psp is very similar to opengl (i have no experience with it though). would i be better off working through a book or two focused on opengl and c++ game development on the pc first? also, how is animation being done on the psp? |

There is actually a small port of OpenGL in SVN. Check it out :)

It would allow you to have a better grasp of OpenGL, so then you can use the knowledge on the PSP. | Quote: | | also, how is animation being done on the psp? |
OpenGL and libGU
All the stuff that is ported is in SVN, http://svn.pspdev.org/psp

| you might want to start here www.gamedev.net and get a solid understanding of 3D (as you have not yet had a graphics class). That site has a plethora of graphics and gaming devlopment information. |

how do you do animation in opengl? and would it be possible to use a software package like maya for psp development? |

OpenGL is a grapics library, and you can do animation all you want on it. Major games are made with it....
If you are talking about an animation movie, then you may want to look away from OpenGL.
