I dont know why but many scratch 3d games have got png.

forever
(set 3D to .png)

I MADE A 3D ENGINE! Which is actually real 3D, hope you guys love itYou can’t consider this a 3D engine, since it cant render other objects (and it also doesn’t use any 3D polygons or points, it’s just a 2D drawing that looks like 3D). Try implementing real 3D techniques like rasterization or raycasting, and I’m pretty sure you would make an epic 3D enginehttps://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1227771913/

ok3D raytracing is confusing, and the code is. Please don't get me on therethis topic is for advanced scratch, please do not get here as a “new scratcher” and start complaining about raytracing or whatever being confusing to you, as it's Fascinating to others who try to learn it

its not that deepI'll have to make a note of this.It's actually not raytraced my friend, it's basically fake reflections that almost all modern games today use, it's a very cool trickyes I believe in bowling if you look at the side bumpers and walls you'll see that they are quite clearly raytraced, and I'm surprised they aren't more polished actually.I think it uses raycasting for detecting collisions or hit scans, something like that, and not rendering. not sure thobruh its in the name its def 3d ALSO I JUST REALIZED THAT WII SPORTS RESORT BOWLING USES RAYCASTING GASP ITS NOT JUST OUR PETTY LITTLE SCRATCH GAMESYeah but at least kindaThis is 3d, its just pseudo but it’s still the same thingpseudo 3d is very much not the same as 3d
Not if you use DX12's raytracing feature in your games. But keep in mind by doing so means losing out on userbase whose hardware can't handle hardware raytracing…

Pen does not change the fact that the math isn’t 3D. 3D means it is calculating the positions of 3D points into 2D points with math to render. This is just 2D points creating an illusion. Use some tutorials to get started with. I recommend using MathMathMath’s tutorial to start with.Btw I used pen not costume I swear to godI MADE A 3D ENGINE!

I disagree with “complex” math. It's really not complex at all, and I think saying so is daunting to beginners. It's not rocket science, just a simple projection equation.

Yea. I was just describing what it looked like to me as a beginner.

GLOOB can you make a tutorial about how to make a raytracing engine in scracth?When he gets 2500 loves on his 3D DAYTONA USA he will make a tutorial to make something similar
Also it's actually spelled GL00B not GLOOB (it's two 0's not two O's)

What some people consider complex other people consider simple. It's quite subjective.Pen does not change the fact that the math isn’t 3D. 3D means it is calculating the positions of 3D points into 2D points with complex math to render. This is just 2D points creating an illusion. Use some tutorials to get started with.
