how to 3d in gideros

gemboy100

Hi,
Im trying to learn gideros and so far I like it very much. At first I hated addChild() concept, and then I tried to learn it better and now I see how powerful and organised it is actually.
Now im playing with this engine and I wonder how do I test collision with 3d object (except (X+Width > X2+Width) method). I feel like its gonna be triple complicated with 3d objects.
Are there any solvers, code samples, libs or anything useful on this matter ?

for 2d:

maybe somehow adapt to 3d ..

**In gideros, only basic support for 3d, for advanced 3d games, it's better to use Unity

or even UE4
there's awesome blueprints system with nativization, you will learn engine api and workflow faster (it will take just a year or two )
also it's interesting to know that nowadays even big AAA titles are 70-80% blueprints based (unity's 3rd party plugin is nowhere near)

Gideros fully support 3D rendering, but low level. For shading/lighting or collisions, you are on your own. I wrote 3D scene demos for gideros some time ago, you should be able to find them in the forum, and there was a plan to integrate bullet collision engine as a gideros plugin. But let’s face it, people usually choose another engine for 3D...

for 3d have a look at godot engine too, it's open source.

for indie developer, unity is better than UE

I did a 3D game using Gideros (my 1st ever 3D game!), I just extended my existing 2D collision code to use an extra dimension.
