Title: Help a newbie to start!
Post by: Marcus on June 21, 2010, 11:25:31 am

Hi!
I'm new here so please, be patient  :D

My idea:
- build a simple terrain
- import a model (a warrior)
- animate model: run, jump, attack
- let player move model using keyboard
- set a third person camera

How can I do this?

Can anyone explain me with some examples, or just point me in right way

I've found this: http://www.jpct.net/wiki/index.php/Advanced_example it's up-to date or just useful for my purpose ?

The example in the wiki is up to date. However, it might be better to start small instead of using the "advanced example" as a starting point. The zip of the jPCT distribution contains three examples, one is a car moving around a surface. That might be a better starting point. The code is pretty old, but still valid.
