  Great example, lots of fun! The main character is a 3DObject and the rest are 3DShapes?

  I have multiple instances working better (no bugs seen yet, but once I release please let me know if other issues are seen.) See release 2.4.1.

  Can you please share the gltf model file that is causing the above error (my suspicion is that it is a model without animation and I'm missing a case checking for that.)

  One issue I know of is that the plug-in really only supports one instance of an object, I have it on my to-do list to fix this and support multiple instances. (I know it's a wall of text, but this issue is mentioned on the itch page.)

  Yes, they broke that in an update of the Spine runtime. I think I saw they might have fixed it later, I will take a look, thanks for the reminder.

  Update 2.4.0:

  fix (editor): refresh render after rotation angle changed

  feat (animation): add animation is finished / on finished ACEs

  feat (animation): add CurrentAnimation expression

  Re: 263 - yes this plug-in requires some C3 SDK features that came in later versions of Construct.

  Ashley Is there currently a way to mark a plug-in as 3D capable, similar to 3D Shape? For example with plugin info?

  For the 3D Object plug-in, I would like the layer '3D' features to be enabled when it is added to the project. My current workaround is to add a 3D Shape to the project/layer before I add the 3D Object plug-in.

  Thanks for all the great work with the new 3D features!

  New release of 3D Object with major changes. It now supports GLTF models with animation thanks to R0J0hound's code that parses gltf and does animation.

  I added some animation ACEs and ZElevation ACEs, expressions and control for ZScale ACEs.

  It does not yet render in Editor (as I did for obj files) but I will be working on that. It now renders in editor.

  You can try it here, it is still under development:

  kindeyegames.itch.io/c3-3dobject-alpha

  Also if Scirra is interested in integrating this into C3 directly, please feel free to contact me, I would be happy to share it (I know they may not because dealing with 3D models, formats, performance, etc. is a bit complicated in terms of user expectations for simple integration in C3 or they may be planning something else already.)

  Example with 3D object, 3D shape, 3D camera.

  Interesting. Ok well if it becomes more important for your project, come find me on the Construct Community Discord and we can figure it out.

  Ashley thanks for all the info. Can you please also add a C3 script interface for the coming 3DCamera Zscale also?

  Ah, I see, yes, I think it must be 1:1 in terms of image size and sprite size. So if you need to increase the size, also increase the image size (in editor.)

  Right, this is not easy to do! I am finding 3D models, blender, animations are difficult to work with in general (even beyond this plug-in.)

  I am leveraging some work that r0j0hound did and hope to get GTLF file formats working for this plug-in, instead of obj/mtl. That being said, I have also found that getting a good gtlf embedded file is also not that easy!

  Here's an example of GTLF import (still WIP, not ready to release yet.)

  Hi, if you have not solved this yet, can you share an example project which shows what you are trying to do? I don't quite understand what you are going for.
