Which 3D-Editor to create a world

Engines, Libraries and Tools Java 3D

Hi

I read several commends on “which tool to create 3D objects or worlds”, but yet none has pleased me.
The jogl-project supplies an API in Java for OpenGL. Every example uses this API to create objects, render them and so on. Now I would like to create a world (perhaps like Gothic or any other 3D-Game, of course much simplier :slight_smile: ). So, I need an editor to create a wired landscape (not a terrain-generator). I would like to manipulate the wire landscape MANUALLY and place textures. Something like manipulating a scene with the mouse. Then, the data must be usefull to generate JOGL-API-commands (for example gl.glVertex3f…).
Has anyone an idea if a tool like this might exist?
In the end I don’t want to program such a tool for myself.

Thanks in adance

Typically, common modelers like 3DSMAX are used to create objects and custom editors are then created to assemble these objects into a ‘world’ and export them to game-specific formats.

So be prepared to write your own.
