Notes

In this release we're adding mode new 3D features! First up the mesh editor, allowing setting up a mesh distortion in the Layout View, now supports Z elevation of mesh points. This means you can make 3D meshes with the mesh distortion feature! The mesh editor also has a variety of other improvements, such as now having selected mesh points show their properties in the Properties Bar, where you can access the new Z elevation property. The Z elevation of mesh points can also be changed at runtime with the Set mesh point action!

The 3D shape object now also supports assigning a Sprite, Tiled Background or 9-patch to each face of the shape. This lets you use animated or tiling face images. When using 3D features, layers can now also be set back to rendering as 2D. This is useful for making them act as backdrops or overlays without unwanted interaction with 3D content, such as having 3D boxes towering over your HUD.

As ever there's a batch of bug fixes, some new examples, and various other changes and improvements - see the full changes below.

  • omg !! Thanks for this beta !!

    Now it only miss 3D collisions and a 3D camera to be ready-to-use 🚀

  • Is there no way to get meshpoint values? You can set values but not get?

    • Not from points you move by yourself in the editor, I think.

      If you setup meshpoint positions at the start of the level (with something like a function) you can store the values in an array as well though. It's a bit of a finicky workaround that requires some work to setup however. I did it like that when experimenting with a very simple "rolling hills" tiled background. Maybe there's a much easier way, I have no idea.

      If getting the values for meshpoints directly is something that's easy to implement it's a great suggestion.

  • Why can't a TileMap be added?

  • Oh, the 3D mesh distortion for backgrounds opens up a lot of cool possibilities, like rounded grassy hills or rocks. With a low z-elevation value and a smart use of texturing I'm pretty sure things will look smooth enough even with a small number of mesh points. Will definitely experiment with this.

    The only pseudo-3D function I miss now (from my point of view, for my project) is being able to change the "vanishing point"/shift the viewing "angle". (I currently do this manually, but if this were to be integrated into the entire z-elevation effect things would be 10x easier and probably 10x as efficient.)

    So, with the risk of repeating myself. If it would be easy to implement something like vanishing point x/y (from center of the screen) variables, I hope it can be looked at while doing all these great 3D additions.

  • Nice release looking forward to exploring it.

    A constrained camera would helpful (if full 3D free camera would be too much to do.)

  • Great features! but now only positive numbers works with Z elevation in 3D mesh distortion. I'm very excited about what the next beta will bring :D Best

  • It Needs 3D camera, and 3D Sprites 😂

  • Nice, keep going with more 3D features please.

    Finally I can start with my own GTA2 clone, THX.

  • With the addition of 3d I see that Construct will become or if not already the best game engine currently.

  • Wow more than I could have hoped for. This is amazing. Construct continues to open doors to more possibilities with the 3D feature
