Working on some new plugins for C3. Here's the blurb from the itch.io page, the plugin will be released soon and an itch.io link will be added to this post.
How about a bit of nice 3D eye-candy in your Construct 3 game? FunkyQuadZ is a pair of Construct 3 addons for 3D Sprites and 3D Camera control. It can be used with the native C3 2D game events, editor, behaviors, and logic to make a game that looks like Paper Mario or Doom. Example templates will show how this can be done.
There will also be a 3DJS template from Mitsu Studios which uses FQZ for a more complete 3D rendered environment.
Components
There are two main components: FunkyQuadZ (3D Sprite) and FQZCamera (3D camera position and look at control.) They can be used separately or together in the same project.
Beautifully Constrained 3D
Ok, this is not UE or Unity in Construct! Construct 3 behavior and logic are generally focused on 2D, but with some tricks and FQZ you can create a nice-looking 3D game environment and still benefit from the ease of use and speed of development of Construct using C3's great 2D events, behaviors and logic.
You can follow development on twitter and I will post the itch page once it's ready for early access.
