Hello, i’m new to python and Panda3D, i’m on a personall project for a RPG game i decided to make in Panda3D, but since i’m new(Not new to programming, i’m a little experienced in VB.net), but where should i go in order to learn about animation, adding models and make them move and such? and some nice tutorials would be nice.
cheers in advice.
I advise looking at the manual and the sample programs.
The manual has a “Hello World” tutorial which should be perfect to get you started.
Yeah i just completed it, it was great 
, but i still am a little wondering, if i wan’t to example.
If i create a little world let’s say a plane with a house in 3Ds max (My 3d program which i like, and i think i saw panda suport maya and 3ds?) and then a simple character, and a walk animation, could i then do like i did in the ‘‘hello world’’ tutorial? and just exchange the models? or…
Coming from a Visual Basic / Gambas background myself I recommend takig sometime to learn python.
All of my stumbling blocks here have been becuase I do not know the python way of doing things.
The Panda3d engine has worked great but the hurdle is overcoming thinking like Visual Basic to thinking like python.

Cool thanks , where should i learn python in a ‘‘professional’’ way? i mean i wan’t to know python in a proffesional way like they teach me fully understanding, EVERY work they’ll tell what means and so, but still in a proffesional way, if you get me?
