Introduce yourself

Greetings from Mike. I am new to coding and Playcanvas but many years in professional CGI, video production, and some 3D interactive. Like so many here, I’m looking to learn, grow and create. Thanks in advance for being here as a community and in support and I hope to connect with many of you through this forum.
Cheers!

Hi there. PlayCanvas is one of the options I’m exploring in order to make a “bigger” HTML5 game. As for now, after downloading typescript definitions it seems the engine could work well with my/ours nees :).

The background is programming / game design / management.

Microstudios as in Microsoft gaming studios

Hi everyone

I am a 3D graphics developer working on mainly commercial and B2B projects.
I have been programming for 36 years and can program on a wide range of platforms and in various languages. I have worked on game consoles, web sites (client and server-side), low-level serial programming, mobile apps, embedded microcontrollers and 3D graphics.
My most recent developments have been in VR and am THRILLED to see WebVR support in PlayCanvas.

I look forward to PlayCanvas’ success and growth. A fine fine product.

Of course I play games and I’m learning more and more about the development process as I go along and become a better dev and coder. Look forward to being a part of the community convo.

Hello,

My Name is Anton. I’m a 3D Artist/Animator with an Unreal Engine background. Since I have no hope that Unity or Unreal will be able to create a good package for HTML with Webassebly we switched to Playcanvas.
I hope Playcanvas will succeed and will not die like GooCreate, which looked very promising too.

Cheers! And thanks for all the help in the forum :slight_smile:

Hi! My name is Logan, and I’m a senior at my university. My major is Information Technology, and I’m currently working on my senior design project: a more user-friendly, 3D grid-based alternative to TRPG tools such as Fantasy Grounds and Roll20. I’m basing it on Martin Neihoff’s Grid Generator.

Hello my name is Brian and I have been using PlayCanvas for little over half a year. I work in advertising with several Fortune 500 companies. I’ve been programming since 1996, primarily for the web. I was looking into Three.js and was beginning to wrap my head around that, when a collaborator at work suggested looking at PC. It has been very helpful to see the models in their environment.

Hello Dave,
this is Matthias a first time user of playcanvas.com/editor and of forum.playcanvas.com
I found this web experience by googling for javascript game engine.
My first impression of the playcanvas editor is that it looks like a VRML editor (virtual reality modeling language) without being as intuitive as those editors were some 20 years ago.
I grew up with using a text editor for html, javascript and css files - that means I feel lost with the UI of playcanvas.
Are there basic tutorials available e.g. playcanvas for dummies?
How to create a first sample game?

The PlayCanvas editor is similar to the typical game engine editors such as Unity3D, Unreal and Godot. If you have used those before, some parts of the PlayCanvas should hopefully be familiar.

The manual has an overview of the editor (which is a a little dry): https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/user-manual/designer/menus-and-toolbar/

Or you can try the Keepy Uppy tutorial series on making a small game: https://developer.playcanvas.com/en/tutorials/keepyup-part-one/

Hello Peoples of the Interweb! I am GLaDOS_1, also known as Tristin, I’m sort of new to this field, but am learning fast! I hope to learn enough to create something of my own eventually, but am currently working with someone else, who I have showed this to. I appreciate all the things everyone has done on this website (or engine more specifically) And I have a question for you guys. Star Wars or Marvel? (Or DC) Anyway, I look forward to your replies!

I would say marvel only because I love the superheroes they have created cough cough(iron man) lol

“Sees reply” Wow! Someone actually responded! Thank you for the feedback! Anyway… I am also a gamer, who appreciates the effort that it takes to makes

Hello, I’m a coding enthusiast, yet an amateur. I have a free account now, and wish to know more about this open source engine. I have tried many of the previously made games here, but many unfortunately failed in the browser window.
