Tutorial for Topdown 3D

Question

Well, i'm looking for a good guide to program Topdown 3D in C++. Where i can find a good one?

Thanks.

Well it's more of a combination of things: first learn C++, then learn graphics programming (2D then 3D), then learn game programming, then make a top-down game. How far along are you? — GManNickG, Mar 26 '11 at 22:13

Topdown isn't any different than any other 3D programming - except for the position of the viewer.

You can get some more information about what you want to do by checking out gluLookAt()

Your "up" would be X or Z depending on what you wanted to do and if you still wanted to use right-handed coordinates for everything else.
