By the end, you'll have a small 3D game you can actually play. This practical tech book is perfect for beginners who want to go from zero to a playable game without overwhelming theory.

Finish with a playable 3D adventure. No prior game dev experience required—just a computer and curiosity. Roland Jovanovic's clear instruction makes complex topics accessible. Get ready to create your first 3D game today. This hands-on Other guide is written to be used at the keyboard: every concept is paired with something you can run, adapt, and keep.
