I've heard a lot of complains about why GM doesn't support a zrepeat into 3d when drawing a standard feature, but only supported hrepeat and vrepeat.

What's zrepeat? As you might know, if you draw a block that reaches higher than the height of your background texture, it get stretched out. To prevent this stretching, there is now the function called zrepeat. The value zrepeat defines how many times the texture should be repeated into the height (z).

Here's an example to show what I mean. The left block is without the zrepeat function, but only h- and vrepeat. The right block features the zrepeat function.



As you see, the right block looks better than the left block. Remember that both blocks are exactly the same in size (width,length,height) and have the same texture.

You can download the example + tutorial here: http://gk-games.neti...at_tutorial.gmk

Enjoy this new function that allows you to draw blocks in 3D more easilier! Feature made by GK-games.

Note: If you want to draw without any zrepeat, you can enter into zrepeat also 1!

This seems to be less usefull than I thought. Not many people has used it yet, and still it's a really good tool.

yes its usefull and dont worry about the lack of down loads i tend to find that feed back here is really slow. im not in to to making 3d games but still like to know how to do things like this.give it time and im sure the comments and downloads will come

Just putting it out there: I'm not gonna make a tutorial for GM8.1, since you can simply open the old GM8 file.
