Hello,

is it possible to change the behavior of the PB Editor on CTRL + Mouse wheel?
I just don't understand what it should be useful for to change the zoom. I don't
want to change it every now and then. I adjust it once and leave it as it is.

It would be so much more useful when it would make the ...

Yes it's all only transformed Sprite3D's.
The sky box is a large box (2x2 Sprites each side) which is moving with the cam and displayed independent of its distance to it.
The terrain is Sprite3Ds, too. Placed via the height map bmp. And then there are some trees and objects and dust billboards.
That ...

Hello world,

some years ago i made a simple Sprite3D engine just for fun. Now i finally found some time to make a little demo game out of it (called "DesertRacer").

It is a simple rallye race game where you just try to drive a fast lap on a desert circuit.

Here are some screens:

The solution was a procedure named "DisplaySprite3DMultiTexture()", Stefan gave me.
It lays a sprite over a Sprite3D with alphablending and displays the result.

Ok, i have nice fog now. Thanks S.M.!!!

Thats what i'm doing now. But i have to do it with EVERY texture which is displayed, because fog or darkness
depend on the distance to the camera. Thats why its very slow, cause this method doubles the number of sprites displayed...

Hello world!
I am working on a 3D-Engine using PBs Sprite3D.

Now i want to have fog and night effects but dont know how to do it.
I could put a semitransparent fog sprite over every texture, but that would make it very slow.
So i thought that there may be a ...

An interpreter doesnt translate the Code to machine code, like a compiler does, but
executes the commands from source code. Or at least translates every line at runtime, not the
whole program at once before program start.
Thats why an interpreter usually is slower than a comiled exe.

I would like to have commands for lightning/coloring Sprite3Ds.

Like:

Sprite3DFadeTo (Sprite, RGB(r,g,b), percent)

@Danilo:
Sorry, i was to fast. It still doesn't fix the problem. You're on the right way. Please look at the Topic in the German forum.

@Danilo:
Great! That TransformSprite3D works perfectly!!!!
How can I use that in my program??????? (*deutsch:hechel,hechel!* )

And how does the road look, if you use a texture with road marks?

Ok that could make it better, but still not good. And this method will slow the game down!
There must be a way to get a better function to do these effects and to make games look good! :roll:

Not necessary??? Then you should take a closer look!
Or take a look on this screenshot of the race game i'm working on! The street looks terrible!!!

It is absolutely necessary, and it would be a great argument, to new PB users, if we can show them ...

Ok, i hope that this can be done for the next update. It is VERY IMPORTANT for me, as i am writing a 3D-engine
for a car race game. And i think that more people will code games using the Sprite3D-commands,
when this "bug" is fixed. I am wondering, for what this command was included, it is absolutely ...

You can see the effect in the PureRacerDemo. The street texture and the borders look terrible.

Simple test:
InitSprite (): InitSprite3D (): InitKeyboard ()

OpenScreen (800, 600, 32, "")

CreateSprite (0, 256, 256, #PB_Sprite_Texture)
StartDrawing (SpriteOutput (0))
Box (0, 0, 256, 256, RGB (0 ...
