how do you create 3D sprites?

[BattleRifle BR55]

As in 2d sprites that stand in 3d?

[masonrulz]

huh?

[crashhelper]

3d sprites. You draw a wall where the texture is that of the sprite. The sprite itself is flat, like cardboard as it can be angled. DooM uses sprites in 3D.

Actually I think he means something more along the lines of making regular 2d sprites that have a 3d feel to them. In that case,

1. Topic belongs in Graphics forum
2. Photoshop or Gimp or any other intensive graphics program. Gimp is free.

I mean like in super block man

They are not sprites, they are models. Or joined polygons.

[masonrulz]

how do you make those?

[crashhelper]

With a .obj model creator, or by coding them by hand.

[masonrulz]

how do you get" a .obj model creator"?

[crashhelper]

you open your browser and type in google.com and then you search for .obj model maker

[RAC3R]

this should be in the 3dquestions section

[masonrulz]

I wasn't able to find any thing. Any other ideas?

[dark_dude]

if this is your first time using gamemaker, start off with something easier than 3d games.

[sharkie13]

Oh and also you need registered version.

i dont even use models in that version....dont do that, make models.
i made everything by just typing in the vertex's. and using things like
d3d_draw_cylinder()

if its not my game, where is super block man?

[masonrulz]

awww man

yeah, ok, you're new, start with something easier.

first of all, designing a "3d sprite", or a model, is very hard to do, and requires practice.

second of all, collisions are still only done for the 2d sprites when in 3d mode, so there are a few more difficulties that you may at first realize.

also, gm's 3d is very difficult for some people (like me), and is not really designed for powerful 3d engines.

I'm not new, it's that I don't have the registerd version,or the pro package
