I came across this series, and it offers more than a great deal on 3D mapping of our favorite games; anyone aspiring to make a video game, not quite fan stuff... but obviously if you wanna make a 3d or 2.5D Castlevania game, this is a great place to start studying.

Funny enough, I was in a trade-in store talking about 3D games, and he said "in 3D games, the Camera is the most important aspect" After watching, he couldn't have been more true.

I've always considered the camera to be the most important aspect of a 3D game. It should be a no-brainer to the gaming companies as well.

to get 60fps on any game of high detail, Fair amount of culling, and a distance based low-poly-swap, hell, if it's far enough, depending on what it is, a flat animated texture for something like grass is uncanny at a far distance.
