Abstract :
This paper explores how the gaming technology can be used in the forest knowledge education. Here we bring forward a game design and develop method that based on 3-dimention modeling softwares and Virtools, that is, creates the scenes and character models with 3ds max and Maya, then realizes the interaction control with Virtools. We take “Forest Journey” game as an example to complete the organic fusion of knowledge and gaming. So this technology can be widely used in the other educational fields with its high availability and reference value.
