First, learn how to import models and textures from programs like 3ds Max and Maya, set up game objects, apply materials, and add animation to bring the game to life. Then Adam explores how to implement realistic lighting, and add finishing touches such as particles, effects, and audio. The end result is a sample game with a lush environment, fully animated objects, and some basic interactive gameplay.
