Hey everyone, I’ve been working with blender for almost 4 years now, and last week I decided to try and started working with the BGE… not for games, but some interactive project presentations would be pretty nice…

The fact is that all I thouhgt I knew about lights and stuff for rendering just don’t work lol (as you all know)…

Can you show me some links to tuts? I’m really interested in BGE, I just got to get it right.

All I did can de resumed to achieve a hard and too dark shadow by setting a spot light in GLSL mode. Are there other ways to achieve nice light effects in BGE?

Also, can I animate an object in the defaut timeline and make it collide with rigid body objects within BGE??

Thanks a lot, and I’m sorry about my english…

Yes, you can animate an object by using an F-Curve; move the object about and press I to create a keyframe for the location of the object. Then, move the timeline over and repeat. You can then use an IPO actuator to play back the animation. This will work for both the moving and standing objects. Search for tutorials on what exactly you’re looking for information on (modelling, animating, lighting, coding, etc.).
