any examples??

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/any examples??

I was wondering how to do 2d in 3d soI can have the alpha sprites and stuff. Does anyone have any examples? I would like to try nSprite but its not released anymore and nSprite 2 demo is missing files. Thanks.

Try Sprite Candy.

But you can't try Sprite Candy before you buy and I'm not sure if I really want to buy something. So lets keep it freeware for now. Sprite Candy did look good though.

Excellent set of 2d in 3d functions here:

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/config/spritecontrol/spritecontrol.htm

"of 26 commands and functions for manipulating 3d quad sprites just like you would with 2D images"

Well documented, the demo I tried came with many examples and it's free.

Also, check out this code archive entry by Skidracer:-

But you still can't blend every pixel into the background.
EXAMPLE:

What I want it to do:


What Its doing:


save the image as a .png
then:
global sprite=loadsprite("image.png")

I'm a complete idiot.

By the way, thanks to everyone for their suggestions!
