Can I make 3D Background RPG?

[faizin]

  Can I make 3D Background.I want to make rpg game and the bg and the item is 3D but the character is 2D.Can I make that with AGS.Is it possible?I wanna make the house and the environment with Milkshape 3D or 3D Max.Is it possible?

Yes... just render the background into a 2d image and use it.

But is it that I cant make 360 degree the 3D object in mu game

Look for the Looping room in the Demo Game, that way you can make 360 degree rooms... the only way to make them with relative ease.

360 degree backgrounds are... possible, but hard to script, not really worth it I think.

Why would it be hard to script? It can be easily done with (invisible) character placement or with seting background position.

Could you explain more concerning:  (invisible) character placement or with seting background position?
Thanx

Read that. It's pretty good advice. Unless you're very proficient with AGS, please DO NOT attempt anything that it wasn't meant to do easily. You WILL find yourself in WAY over your head. Thank you.

I may have this completely wrong, but I think what faizan was asking was whether he can actually have 3 dimensions in the game, ie. Have it work like a 3D game in that you can spin objects around and view them from all sides, etc.

If so (again, I could be TOTALLY wrong), that isn't possible. AGS is a 2D game maker. You can make backgrounds LOOK 3D and you can make them loop so you essentially have a "never-ending" room. You could even script it so you look at objects and appear to be spinning them around, by taking a picture of all angles of the object (scripting would be somewhat complicated though). I think from memory they did this in King's Quest 7. That's about as far as you can take it though.

Yeah kinoko was right but now I get the way how to rotate the 3D pic.How to rendering in Milkshape?I cant get to render it like 3D Max.Maybe I should put this to another topic but I want to get help in this topic.

[Ishmael]

Well, you shouldn't, not on this board... but as maybe just a very few have ever used MilkShape, I suggest you and whatever tutorials there are for MilkShape.
