Second, you'll need some kind of a 3D modelling program to make actors (characters and props) with. Gmax is the free game development level editor (typo, should be modelling program) based on the 3D animation platform Autodesk 3ds Max. Combined with the .act exporter plugin on the Word Of Genesis site, you are ready to start making your actors. The shareware modelling program Milkshape3D will take apart and output Genesis3D .act files and is cheap to register ($25). You can also use TrueSpace (v3.2 is free and you can get it from caligari.com or here, v5 is $395, v6.6 $595) with the TrueGene exporter to create Genesis3D actors. Finally, you can get Discreet's Autodesk 3ds Max with Character Studio - Reality Factory supports Genesis3D actors created with v2.5, v3.1, v4 and v5 .

for the walls, http://www.freewebs.com/andycr/realityfactory1.htm shows you.

ok but it doesnt say me how to put the actor in my game....

that depends upon what you want the actor to do. do you want it to just sit there, or to be pushable by the player, or be the player himself, or be an enemy, or...?

Uh...could you explain me how to do them all..

it would take longer than i wish to spend, theres just too much involved. there are numerous examples in the manual.

sorry, but thats the only way your going to learn; if you get too dependant on other people for help, i would be hurting you more than helping you. the above tells where it is defined.
