  • Hey, updates are great, but what about some simple 3Dshape angle/camera Z axis function? Just to set 3D objects angle for classic topdown 30/45 view like zelda games or other similar rpgs. Its the only function that keeps me out from developing in 3D. Tried FQZ addon but couldn't figure out how to make it work with 3Dshapes.

      Do you mean changing the actual camera angle, or using an off-axis projection (i.e. changing the vanishing point)?

      • Doesn't matter for the effect I would like to achieve. It would depend on You, Construct Team, which method would be easier to implement. I would like to make a visual effect like 'Pokemon Games' on Nintendo DS(2D top down sprites, with pseudo paper 3D objects), a CAMERA is rather static there. So I guess an off-axis projection would be the that easier way. I hope it is possible to make and so I keep my fingers crossed for your work!

  • i remember people asking when C3 was launched

    "will it do 3D?"

    and ashley was like

    "3D is possible but will require us to change the entire structure/engine, and im afraid 3D is not going to happen"

    Couple of years later

    Ashley "Construct has 3D layers and 3D sprites"

    ... i wonder what will happen in the next 2-5 years .... ^_^ can't wait

  • Construct é ótimo da para fazer milhares de jogos muito bons. Dou 5 estrelas

  • Will it be possible to have a 3D camera so we can make simple Wolfenstein 3d style FPS games with the new 3d shapes?

  • Hey, just wonder, why there is no "depth" thing in the C3? For me just ability to get/set depth will make my life SO easier, i can't even describe how much exactly. I mean, depth is a thing in c3 for sure, and you can change it in runtime with methods like "Move to top", but why can't you set the specific number then?

      Do you mean Z index? You can't set two objects to the same Z index, which makes it difficult to sort Z order by assigning Z indices. However there's the 'Sort Z order' action which can do something similar.

  • here, take a look at those "rendering mode" .

    if you set the mode into 3d, the parallax layer became Invisible or hidden,

    how to prevent this?
