Design of 3D game based on forestry science popularization

This paper studies how computer games can be used to popularize the forestry science knowledge and proposes a method of 3D game development based on Virtools platform, which creates 3D models in 3ds max and Maya, then realizes the game functions in Virtools. This paper designs and develops a game based on 3D forest scenes which gets a better balance between knowledge and gameplay. The game enhances the users´ interaction experience by adding the gamepad, and has high referential and practical value. Computer games will play an increasingly important role in the popularization of forestry science.
