MV3D - 3D rendering for RMMV with Babylon.js

Cutievirus · 2019-11-07T03:07:46+0900

Author: Cutievirus Version 0.6.1 A 3D rendering plugin for RPG Maker MV. Wall tiles (A3 and A4) are transformed into 3D walls, allowing you to easily create 3D maps. Regions and terrain tags can also be used to control the height of tiles. The airship will collide with walls if it isn't flying high enough. However you can change how high it flies using plugin commands. Plugin also supports 3D lighting as well as plugin commands to control the lighting and flashlights. Plugin does not support dynamic shadows, they don't work well with transparent textures in three.js. You can control the camera distance, pitch, and yaw, and change between perspective and orthographic modes. You can make 3D dungeon crawlers as well as isometric games if you want. You can even mix multiple styles into the same game, for example have the overworld be 3rd person or isometric, and the dungeons be 1st person dungeon crawlers. See the screenshots below to see how it looks. Spoiler: Screenshots Big 3D castle A simple hedgemaze example. Dungeon crawling Orthographic camera Flashlight Download on Github To install the plugin in a new or existing project, download plugin.zip and extract the files into your project directory. Included in the zip folder are mv3d.js, and the required image files. For the premium features, the premium plugin must also be installed. Todo: ✔ Load 3D models (premium) Bug squishing Improve performance Control camera with mouse / touch If you want to use this plugin commercially, I please either become a patron or purchase the plugin on itch.io. In the past I've asked people to credit me using my forum username Dread_Nyanak, however going forward I would prefer if you credit me using the name of my website "Cutievirus". The official website for mv3d will be located at mv3d.cutievirus.com, however it's still a work in progress.

It actually sorts of work with: B,7,1:height(0.75),top(B,0,0)

Wanted to create crenellations, while it perfectly works with events, it's just too many of them and would slow down the entire game i think?

Currently events are probably biggest source of lag but you can just make the character picture really big if your making a fence to use less, or scale if you want bad quality, perhaps when 3d meshes are out it will be even easier.

Also if you want exactly y(1) can't you just place the tile 1 back? Pretty sure that would be the position you want.

When I try to run my game after export I get the error failed to load mv3d image shadow. It is in the folder in the master game file and loads when I play test. What's up?

BTW the script is amazing I plan to use it with all custom graphics and to buy it for the 20 bucks if I can resolve this.

Edit: turns out I am dumb you do not want to tick exclude unused images. Thanks for the amazing plug in.

Try mv3d.shadowGenerator.normalBias=0
This setting helps prevents artifacts from self-shadowing, but it seems it sometimes causes problems.
I'll address this in the next premium update by either tweaking the settings or adding more options.

In the mean time, you can try this code. Load it in a plugin.

JavaScript:
_updateParameters=mv3d.updateParameters mv3d.updateParameters=function(){ _updateParameters.apply(this,arguments); mv3d.shadowGenerator.normalBias=0; }
Works great (mostly) so far - got rid of the holes, but now the shadows are a bit off in other structures! Still, thank you for the reply. It's nice to see some of the issue resolved :)

I thought the same, but then the crenellations are on the ground just before the wall instead of on top of the wall. Gonna play around a bit more with it though, i think i'll find the answer.

@KaosChrist
It's probably being removed by the "exclude unused files" option. I'll have to do some testing later to make sure they aren't excluded in future versions.
In the mean time you can manually replace the file into the deployed project. The images are in the img/MV3D folder.

Hello, @Dread_Nyanak. First, thank you for your hard work!
I wanted to ask is there planning feature like creating boxes (like from tiles, with top, side textures) from events? It would be so cool to have it! Possibilities are endless *_*

@Dread_Nyanak oh, just remembered something that would be great for me if you added!
I didn't test yet, but I'm assuming that if I try to enter a passage with one tile of height while the player characters have a height of 1.5 they can't go through it, right? I was thinking of allowing the player character to crouch and crawl slowly... is there a way to change their collide height through plugin commands?

If the image is small enough you can walk under stuff, I made a 0.5 fringe wall but a 384x256 4x2 character couldn't fit under, but a 252x112 4x2 could walk under it.

Hi! I was playing with the test project again...
Is there any way to stop this from happening? (The seeing through wall) I've done it on my own maps, and I'm just curious... Thank you!

You'll have to make the map 1 tile larger, then you should see the back of the tile instead of it being see-through.

Okay, thank you! I'll make sure to fix that around my maps. ^^

@fizzly
This is a planned feature, planned for version 0.6.

@Waterguy
As @glaphen pointed out, the default collision height is based on the height of the image. So if you switch to an image with a shorter height it should work.
Events can change their setting by switching pages, but of course the player can't do this.Changing settings using a plugin command is something I've been thinking about.

hi I use change tile size plugin to get biger tile map
Change Tile Size will this plugin ever adjust with it because now it mess up the texture

and other question is
I use big hd sprite but when render with this 3d they look crisp
is that the option to change render to smooth
because the tile look smooth but character look crisp
thank you

@pasunna ok, not sure if they are really compatible but you kinda can reproduce the effect easily... after all this plugin lets you select the area in the tileset file instead of just the 48x48 base tile.
and can you show this character problem? it seems like you are saying anti-aliasing isn't working, or you don't want it to work or something? did you try either turning it off on the parameters or changing the characters' scale there?

In fact I already give up
The plugin use the tile from main folder and split it to render 3d
So I can just upscale the img but then in the editor is mess up to know where I put anything
By that change tile size plugin I can separate the upscale tile somewhere else
And other thing is I use mog abs and this plugin had their own sprite pose system that conflict with 3d render

oh but you are right about antialiasing but that not important any more T_T

I remember suggesting to dread using textures from outside the tileset on some tiles. in this case it'd be textures in the mv3d folder, used by putting the name instead of A1, B etc.... maybe she'll add that in a version soon.
maybe if you change the plugin order the sprites will work better? I mean, I'm helping someone fix some compatibilities with chrono engine right now too and theirs seems to be working fine...

I think it can compatible but I also edit mog plugin by myself
To use only one line sprite and flip it because I make something more like side scrolling so top down not necessary
And that will more complicate with many other thing I modify mog plugins
So if the tile still a problem I will wait and see before jump in to use this plugin
Not that my project will finish very soon anyway haha…

The change tile size plugin is something I plan to support in a future update.

I've looked into this before together with @Waterguy, but I decided to start over from the start and... I downloaded a fresh demo, and simply moved the starting point next to the demon on top of the forest and made the screen tint darker so light sources should be easily seen.

The demon on top of the forest is supposed to show a light source as seen in the notes:

But it doesn't show:

And this seems to happen with every simple light source. It's a fresh demo, so i expect this to work, but it doesn't. On the other side, the flashlight in CoopNinjask's time/weather plugin does work, but me and Waterguy can't seem to even copy the code from there.

What's going on here? Is there an event blocking the light sources in the big island map or is it something else?

Hi @gRaViJa!

The flashlight system in my demo is made by Common Event with plugin commands, not via event note tags.
Take a look in the image to understand better.

I hope this help you! ^^
