Since there's no one way to make a game... no. – Jari Komppa Dec 10 '12 at 12:32
what do you mean? – md nth Dec 10 '12 at 12:36
to be more direct ,what software do i need to create simple 3d games like racing,or shooting.......,using 3d max,photoshop,c++ or c# and what else? – md nth Dec 10 '12 at 12:47

You're missing a game design document. Until you know what your game is, you can't possibly know what software, art, code, or even engine you will need.

Start with a one-sentence concept and start building out from there. Your project requirements will follow naturally from the concept.

but do this equation work?:c++ (code::block) "+"3d max"+"photoshop"+"3d engine like unity 3d=3d game,or its wrong and they dont fit – md nth Dec 10 '12 at 12:43
Well, that's just what I mean. Those are possible tools used to make a 3D game, but they don't constitute a 3D game by themselves. Like I said, you won't know what tools you will need until you have actually designed the game. So whether or not you will need what you've listed depends entirely on what the game is. – SAHornickel Dec 10 '12 at 12:49
then whats the best scenario of tools for creating a game? – md nth Dec 10 '12 at 12:51

A pencil and paper. The rest is just implementation. – SAHornickel Dec 10 '12 at 12:57
