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.
any examples??
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/any examples?? 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.
