Making a video game in 3DS MAX?

Question

Is it possible for one person (i.e. me) to create a video game, no matter the quality or quantity, in 3DS MAX alone, with no other outside tools?

If so, then are there any helpful tutorials, links or explanations out there that might help me with doing so?

If not, what other (free, if possible) tools or software might be needed to make an actual game?

Thanks a lot in advance =D

Answer 1

Theoretically yes, practically no.

It also depends what you mean by 'making'.

Although 3DS Max has a rather powerful scripting engine (i.e. MaxScript), and on a really fast workstation with really fast graphic cards you could get some limited "playability" using motion capture, it's impractical to use Max's environment for making a game.

Other options involves exporting to another media.

I don't know if the VRML exporter is still included with Max, but it also allowed some interactivity.
