A Novel 3D Game Design Method Based on Virtools Platform

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper studies the application of computer games in the popularization of forestry science knowledge and proposes a method of 3D game development based on Virtools platform, which creates 3D models in 3ds max and Maya, and then realizes the game functions in Virtools. This paper designs and develops a 3D game for the popularization of forestry science, gets a better balance between knowledge and game play, and enhances the users' interaction experience by adding the gamepad, which has great reference and practicability value. Computer games will play an increasingly important role in the popularization of forestry science.
