is there any courses in INDIA where they teach you how to make games?
what education course should i do? (MCA?,COMP ENGG?,Msc Physics ?)
how do i learn about the tricks of directx sdk?
what else do i have to learn beside c++ & 3dmax to make international standard games?
Basically there is no such course for it, U can do Advanced Diploma & Multimedia & Animation from Arena Multimedia ( I m doing it, 1st sem), they in the 3rd & 4th sem teaches U about Game engine desigining & 3d modeling, with 3DsMax, however U can also learn it at home, although not too high fi, just go to the market, & find 3 books, Redbook, Orangebook & bluebook for OpenGL 1.1, 1.4 & 1.5, they will give U a good start, these are not the real name but the cover color which gave them this actonym, these are old books & the next book for OpenGL 2.0 is not out yet, U may find this online too in PDF format
U also need to have sound knowledge of VC++ as OpenGL coding is done in that, also Arena will teach U 3DsMax but U can also learn Maya 6, which includes a tutorial with it. Then, U just read the books & start practising openGL, & after that U will learn from the books the other things, like how to link models in game engine etc
If U R not doing graduataton, then I will say join BCA, then U will have a degree as well as good control of VC++ etc, as OpenGL & DirectX are also used in making Windows & Linux softwares
Here is the link to download OpemGL Redbook, it is ealry & old version, U need t olearn the basics first
*www.gamedev.net/reference/count.asp?LinkID=993 = 7.9 MB PDF
at least this
VC++
3DS Max
Photoshop/Corel
OpenGL/DirectX
Maths
3D Graphics
AI
u don't need to master all, just choose ur lane, but basic knowledge of all is must.
