I am a Advanced Beginner in Maya. So long I have onlyt created stuff and animated, textured and so on (to make movies). But how are you supposed to progress when creating for example a game world for a game (or just objects for the world)?. How are you supposed to set up settings and rendering etc? Is there any restrictions of what you can do (or does that depend on the game engine), and after creating the world, do you need any other software package or something to prepare it for use in a game engine?

Thanks/ Robin
