So, I have been away from db for quite some time now but am looking into coming back and trying my hand at some development. I'm just wondering what you think the best of the best in db products/bundles are. As of right now...I have nothing. I used to work with dbp and nothing else, I have never used dbsdk and not even sure if I would be comfortable coding with it.

What do you think the best product/bundle to purchase would be?

-DBP - well you'll have to buy it.
-World Creator/Editor/Modeler - All you really need is models, from them there are lots of ways you can go, including making your worlds in DBP. Some things you might want to look at are Cartography Shop and 3D World Studio
-Models - There are lots of free models around, and lots of free modelers too, Wings3D for example
-Physics Engine - DarkPhysics seems to be the new black recently, but it costs money. Another one is Newton, which is very popular, but hard to use at first. You can make your own if you're experienced enough, which is what I did
-Anything Else? - Maybe some good texturing tools. Photoshop is quite god for textures.

Ok, I just started out getting DBP and 3D world studio and will go from there.(which i thought downloads were instantly approved, darn)

I know the only thing really needed is DBP and everything else can be done free, but last time that's all I had and it was already time consuming enough just coding plus the addition of making all these modelers and such when there is already something out there to use is a pain. I just wanted to try to ease up the work a small amount is all this time around. Thanks for the advice though.
