How to start a graphic engine

Hi,

I just want to know for fun.... How to create your own engine instead of using CryEngine or UE???

thx

I can't answer your question, but I will say this; don't take inspiration from Reto-Moto!

Start with a degree in mathematics..

In all seriousness though; when you have to ask how to make an engine you're probally not going to get very far. BUT it's fun trying to make one for yourself so I'll suggest starting here:
Let's Build a 3D Graphics Engine: Points, Vectors, and Basic Concepts - Tuts+ Game Development Tutorial

Start with drawing some lines between two 3d points. I'd suggest using Javascript canvas becaus it's way easier than having to learn C++ or anything like that.

Hopefully this will get you started but you might want to use Google instead of a game forum to ask your questions

That would be uhhh... quite the undertaking. The guy that made Banished created his own multi-platform game engine (even down to writing his own shader language!) and wrote a number really interesting dev blogs detailing his progress. Requires a reasonable understanding of C++ to make sense of them however.
