Thanks! Now i understand how the shader works much better after some tests <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> .

I can create a sprite called Building, this sprite is a collision & Z-Face(Rooftop). Using the cointainer option creates 2 sprites = One with X-Face and other with Y-Faces. And in theory with only one sprite(The collision-rooftop) i can set in every position and on start layout all will be set, in theory! No? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz"> .

This will be using 3 different sprites, but wonder if with only one sprite i can do something in events to get differrent frames of the sprite and for each one set the X/Y face automatically, mmm...

One suggestion, Now we have Z,X,Y faces. Z for Top, X for Left-Right and Y for Up-Down. Will be possible setup all the faces? I mean, Now you can set X-Faces, that shows the left and right face the same sprite. Is possible add the variables for all the faces? = Up/Left/Right/Up/Down ? .

Other thing, after play with the Cubeface demo, i realized that the cube of bricks and how looks is perfect for a Wolfeinstein/Doom game. I played with all the variables and the Angle is like a zoom.

So, maybe i'm missing something, but with this, is not possible do a Wolf/Doom game? Or for that we will need any other variable? :O

If you set X,Y,Z face to 0 and All face parameter to 1 you can see all face of cube...

A little knowledge about 3d perspective projection X,Y,Z ... you can build 3d like world ..( wolfenstein)..

You can use 2.5d platformer or 3d Cube fx, this last can just use 1 same picture for all faces..

So ... X Y and (Z is the deep of the 3d world ) ... however collision must be adapted...

Finally with some test and a bit work you can make nice pseudo 3d like game...

Good luck ....

Ok, so A Doom game can be done, interesting!, i will work with that this weekend <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> .

About faces i guess i'm not explained well.

With 3D cube FX i can set 1 image to all the cube faces. With 25dplatformer, i can set 3 different images. 1 for Z faces, 1 for X-Faces and one for Y faces. Like shows in the CubeFace demo: http://gigatron3k.free.fr/html5/C2/3d8/ the 3 different faces are the Question mark, the yellow face and the brick.

To be more clear, if i want to do a 3D dice, i can't because only can set the numbers 1,2 & 3, and i will need to map all the faces for the six numbers/faces.

What i'm saying is get the variables to map the six faces of the cube with different images. Can you add it?

I'm blocked now because i can't figure how do the near/far effect.

I put various sprites together for a long wall, and i tried the near/far effect with the zoom factor, width/height, sprite scale, etc... and always they overlaps when are near and separated when they are far. I don't know what variable i'm missing or events to get all the tiles near/far at the same distance between them.

Any tip?

you must use scale funtion of C2 with Z.... mean distance and perspective..

look this example with starfield.... put cube in place of stars...

Thanks, I see, when are near/far not only the scale changes, also the imagepoint/positiont(X,Y) changes to avoid that problem. All the thing is more complicated than i thought in a first moment.

Also I discovered that in Construct Classic had some real 3D cube plugin that manage all this thing more easily, wonder if there is anyway to port to C2.

I will give a try to the cube-stars and if again get blocket will test the Q3D plugin to see how hard is.

yes
