Hello developers!
I have a simple question:
AGS supports 2.5D? I would develop a adventure game with a 3d character on 2d background.
I think that I can do it with Wintermute, but with AGS?
Thanks a lot.:smiley:
Hi millennium2k,
sorry, but as far as I know AGS doesn't support this. For my own game I use prerendered 3d graphics (even for the characters itself).
There's a 3D plugin knocking around somewhere, I believe, but my recommendation would be to pre-render your frames.
A more extensive answer :
- AGS was designed for 2D characters on 2D background
BUT
- AGS has various plugins that offer extended capabilities. There are two interesting plugins for you:
1) Character3D (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=23400.0) . This one does exactly what you want, but is rather (very) old.
2) Razorblade (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=41581.0). That one does 3D all the way (it's a sort of AGS wrapper for DirectX 's 3D features). However you'll have to script yourself the ability to display a 2D background (you know, the way they do fake 2D using only 3D, nowadays)
If I'm forgetting something, someone correct me.
