Is it possible to make 3d projects in scratch?

define 3d
I know I have seen a lot of 3d projects and games,
but is it a trick?
Don't get mad at me because I'm only 7 years old.

Many of the projects truly represent positions in 3 dimensions. Positions transformed and projected into the camera and on to your screen is performed in the same way any non-scratch 3D renderer would. The knowledge is transferable. Many 3D renderers on Scratch handle triangles, which is often handled in non-scratch renderers too, though generally the reliance on pen in Scratch means that the rasterisation is achieved in a process that isn't so straightforward.

I think this is what you are asking if there is a “trick”, which the answer is no for many projects.

Well, 3d projects use pen, so I can say that's a trick.

yeah it does exist, here are some examples too:

3D Car
Butter 3D Engine
3D Maze v0.12

of course there is much more content, but these are just examples.

also, all of these projects are made with the pen extension, so yeah i think you can consider it a “trick”?

Scratch is mostly 2d but can be 3d

Yes, 3d engines are fairly basic if you have advanced coding know-how, and this is completely achievable without lag.
