how do I change the visuals of a first person camera (make it appear it is a ship cockpit)
You’ll need to build/model a 3D scene of the cockpit. (Using a program like Blender, 3DS Max or Maya) then import that scene into PlayCanvas. Finally place the camera inside the cockpit scene.
thank you dave which do u recommend?
Blender is free so that would be a good place to start.
Check out http://cgcookie.com/blender/ and youtube for some good tutorials.
