FBX or other 3D model support?

Wasn't sure if a sprite could be built using a 3D object? If so, what formats are supported?

Thanks in advance!

3d models can't be directly imported

You would need to export them from your 3d software as a 2d image

You can find a ton of 3D Models on sketchfab.com/store . They have a good selection.

Hi palexeev.

I'm too new here to be sure, but that post may well be considered spam!

To those in the know: Should I report posts like that, or trust the staff and more experienced members to find them?

You can report any post. There's a button on the top right of every post.

While what R0J0hound said is true, it also helps to use a little common sense when identifying spam.

Is the linked site suspicious? Does the link contain any referral or affiliate I.D.? Is it off-topic from the conversation?

If you can say yes to any of those questions, then it's probably spam.

I did, however, do a quick image search of his avatar and he does indeed seem to be a user of that site.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything bad though. It just means that he's familiar with it and thought to suggest it.

But, do whatever you want.

I've grown suspicious of sketchfab since I noticed they do a lot of pushing to get their api into other people's software- which I interpret as a marketing strategy.

They've engaged me in the past to put their api into my software, and I noticed today Godot just recently added some sketchfab api into theirs.

So.. I don't know what to make of it. That sort of stuff tends to turn me off.

Odds are they didn't read the post and just assumed someone was looking for where to get 3D models.

As for display: There's a plugin called Q3D for Construct 2 that isn't likely to be ported to Construct 3 any time soon, but it does allow for 3D scenes/models/etc in Construct 2 (not a free plugin, but the developer behind it is awesome and deserves what it costs!)

??...If you are using Blender/3d studio max/ Daz Studio/Carrara etc...

You could animate the character/prop in your 3D/chosen animation program (animate a walk cycle for example) then render out that as a .PNG sequence

Also, you could then use something like Spriter/spriter Pro (and the beta of the C3 addon) to animate those rendered images/your player ????

Hear hear for Q3D! Unfortunately it is still based on a 2015 version of three.js. I’m hoping someone does a modern port to the C3 runtime so I don’t have to try to make Unity WebGL work for our most recent game. Unity WebGL is pretty bloated compared to Q3D.
