Hi community. I'm thinking to make a 3D game with Irrlicht or Source Engine (valve), but I need to make a simple 3D game. Any suggestions??

Ogre is relatively easy to set up and work with as well.

I'm personally on the fence about it, but mostly 'cuz we switched engines from the one I had written from stratch :p

Are you asking what's the best way to make a simple 3D game?

If so, I've heard good things about both Irrlicht and Ogre. I've looked at source examples for both and they seem okay, but I haven't actually worked with either.

It's going to depend on your skills though whether these are the best choices. Do you know C#? If so, then you really might want to check out XNA, I found it to be surprisingly useful for making games, but I haven't used it for 3D. I have seen impressive 3D demos for it though, and there are tons of tutorials around for it. Working with it is also pretty easy from what I've seen.
Success requires no explanation. Failure allows none.

Thanks for the answers.

I want to make a simple FPS game, but I don't know which one.
I know the tools (c++, irrlicht, etc), this isn't a problem.
