i am a total noob, i have no coding experience whatsoever, but i really want to learn how to use this engine...
i have to create a 3D world for a project.
this world is a 3D art gallery with my photos on the walls like a real art gallery. when the user walks up to the photo they click on it and the photo turns full screen, when they click again it leaves

i have ABSOLUTELY no experience with dim3, where could i find some help?
Sounds like a really simple project. Do you have 3D modeling experience?
Can you create your art gallery as a 3D model?
It would be really easy to do this then.
i have no 3d modelling experience...
what should i use?
This could get rather complicated then... for 3D modeling, I recommend Wings 3D or (if you've got the cash) Cinema 4D.

The programming and scripting part for this project should be almost none.
1. Remove the weapons from the player object.
2. Create a "photo" script that displays a photo hanging on a wall and when you click it shows a picture.
Those are the only things I could think off and... that's really easy to do.

If you need any specific help (and fast), join us on IRC.

It may actually be easier to build your map right in the editor, so you should try both before you settle. (importing is rather hard now and the new version is not ready, so I'd recommend building within the editor)
Yes, sounds very simple. Everything you need to make this is in the docs so don't forget to look. Smile
