To give the editor a spin, try the following:

  • Create a new project (File -> Project -> New)
  • Import .egg or .bam files to your project (File -> Import...)
  • Middle mouse drag them into the scene from the resource panel under models/
  • Translate, rotate and scale them as your desire
  • Set up some lights (Create -> Lights)

  • Build your project (File -> Build) You should now have a p3d file which runs your scene.
