The Panda3D Distribution includes quite a few sample programs. The following is a list of what’s included, and which features of the engine each sample demonstrates. If you are just learning Panda3D, take a look at the ones marked as “Beginner” difficulty.

This tutorial is called “A Panda Hello World”. It is a typical example of a simple Panda3D program. Walking through this tutorial will enable you to obtain some limited familiarity with the Panda3D API without having to learn the entire thing.

An introduction to game development using Panda3D. It will teach the basic principles of the engine, and techniques for using it–enough to make a simple game. Indeed, over the course of these lessons we’ll build up exactly that: a basic arena-based, top-down score-shooter.

In the context on Panda3D, this is a viable way to share texture and vertex data with non-Panda3D modules. Features demonstrated: (gizeh_to_panda3d.py) Creating images on a canvas backed by a numpy array (which is the standard way of storing images in Python), and copying it into a Panda3D texture.

This is a modern Panda3D sample program with an Arena first person shooter environment and many basic features. This program would be useful to experienced Python programmers jumping into Panda3D with the intention of building a first person shooter.

To understand how models are handled in a Panda3D scene, and especially how they’re manipulated, let us discuss how Panda3D arranges its scene. Panda3D stores its objects in a “scene graph”. Essentially, this is a hierarchy of objects–called “nodes”.

This tutorial will hopefully teach you the basics of creating a game using the Panda3D engine, from the fundamentals to building a distributable version. (The GitHub repository for this tutorial can be found here .
