Notes

This week's beta release continues to improve upon the new 3D rotation features. Several bugs have been fixed, and the 3D editor now also shows a guide to help illustrate how 2D objects have been rotated. We have extended 3D rotation support to the Drawing Canvas object, and also the Rotate behavior now has new options to make an object spin in 3D - for example you can set an object to spin on the X axis for an easy way to have continuous 3D rotation.

Other 3D improvements include support for the Z co-ordinate in the 'Pick nearest/furthest' condition; also the Mouse 'Cursor is over object' and Touch 'Is touching object' conditions now properly work with 3D. Previously those conditions only worked as if the object was 2D, but now it works correctly with things like 3D shapes while using a 3D camera. Happy testing!

  • Hot dang! Love the 3D updates to good old plugins and behaviours :)

  • Massive thank you for the new additions! Has really opened up alot of potential

  • Currently to rotate the scene in the editor you use on middle click (if I understand correctly, I don't have a mouse at home). It makes the 3D editor not usable with a trackpad :( It could be great to be able to change the orientation of the camera with maj+left click pressed for example
