Hey i,m new to scratch. And i want to make 3d gams. I hope someboy can tell this.

If you're new to Scratch 3D may be too ambitious. Look inside other 3D projects and if you still want to try do as much as you can and ask for help when you have something more specific to ask.

Ok thanks guys

There are many types of 3d games you could make:

In most 3d games, you can move and look around the 3d world. However, the simplest of 3d games only have movement, which means you cannot look around in different directions. This is called 2.5d, but it is a good place to start, as it does not require pen, only sprites. Here is a great example: link

To be able to look around in multiple directions, you cannot use sprites, you need pen. This might be slightly harder, as it requires basic knowledge of trigonometry and using the pen blocks, but this user: link has many helpful tutorials on pen and 3d games that might help you.

The method used above, can be used to create ‘full’ 3d projects, in which the player can look around and rotate in every direction. However the method is very limited, because it becomes very slow for scratch if you want filled objects, and textures are impossible.

So, the best method to use in scratch is called ray casting. It is a method of faking 3d, and works well on scratch, because the processing is done on a 2d map. Here is an example of 3d game that uses ray casting: link It can even support basic textures. However, this is not ‘full’ 3d, because you cannot actually look in all directions and all walls are of similar shape and size, but it is best suited for a very slow programming language like scratch. The scratch wiki has an article on ray casting that might help you: link

Keep in mind that due to scratch's slow speed, 3d is very limited, but I hope this helped
