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.

This is looking amazing, very well done! There isn't a lot of info regarding the importing of 3D models though. What is the max polygon count for a 3d model? What is the max size for textures? (or at least the max before the game starts running slow), also, is it possible to implement animated textures on the objects and textures with alpha?
Also will it be possible to implement animated rigged 3d models?

Thank you!

From what i have learned:
i have yet to figure out a way for alphas to work, textured alpha or one built from the tileset does not work.
The engine has a pretty wide model limit, i wouldn't try to load in anything too complicated, the scene above has 5-10k polygons per building.

You can use a 3D character if you event it, think of it like stop frame animation though, you would need to import 20 models for each direction for a basic walk cycle, i opted to just stick with a 2D model and increase resolution.

A problem I have is that Change Tileset doesn't work. The tileset that a map has when it's created can't be changed to a new tileset; for example, an Outside map can't change into an Inside map.

Thanks for the reply! :)
That's a pretty good amount of Polygons, it allows for a lot of detail, it's pretty impressive.
I see, there's still a lot of room for improvement I see, the stop motion animation trick seems like it would become a bit cpu heavy over time. But it's a smart workaround. It'd be great if they could implement bone animations and textutes with alpha as well.

Hey! I have a question...
Will this marvelous plugin be ported to MZ?

Since MZ has been reworked to a new layer basis, I think it might be difficult to move to MZ.

Don't say that :(

Think what could be done in MZ thanks by the layers, easier bridges, floating levels, and probably more things! Also, maybe, just maybe, the map code doesn't change a lot in MZ and with couple of changes cutie can make it work there!

I prefer a direct answer from @Dread_Nyanak :D

I dont feel like paying for a bunch of plugins I already have so I'm fine with this staying right where it is on mv

Are there plans to port this Plugin for MZ?

I'm sure this question is already asked, but I was unable to search for "MZ" in this thread because the search term is too short :/

I am glad I purchased mv3d-premium.js today, and I pay $21 ( $1 As an encouragement to the author )

But here I want to adjust it to be brighter, and then it feels like clouds are flying

How should I adjust it?

Can you help me?

Hello! Having a blast with this.
Is there a call to get the current camera angle?

I have two questions.
1) Is there a script call for changing actor scale?
2) Is there a way to control an event instead of the player?

I read someones post about how they got this working in MZ.
I tried it but it says "Reference Error shader Tilemap is not defined"
I know this hasnt been ported to MZ but any chance this is a simple fix?

Hey. I hope eveyrone is fine. I've been tinkering with MV3D and Alpha ABS. Has anyone had success with integrating casting animation outputs with MV3d?

#1371 Aug 30, 2020, 11:23 AM Source

So there has been an update "Camera input 0.6.4" which supposedly adds "With mouse input, the camera controls similar to traditional fps games". Does this mean it would be playing as a normal 3D game? How could I test this new feature? This is the only thing that kept me from developing games using MV3D and purchasing the premium version :(
