Love 11.1 Simple 3D Camera

[thomas__james]

Hi there,

I've recently discovered Love2D and I think that it looks perfect for my project but I just had one question - is there a good tutorial demonstrating how to setup a simple 3D Camera using the new 11.1 3D capabilities?

Many thanks

where does it say there are 3d capabilities?

or you are wanting raw 3d maths?

Well for instance the set depth mode method: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.graphics.setDepthMode

I'm not looking to create a particularly advanced 3D camera, just to have a rotation on Z to look at the 2D world at an angle and follow the player then for the rest of the effects I plan to use shader tricks to create a kind of 2.5d popup effect (a bit like billboarding)

Maybe this mini-demo helps? viewtopic.php?p=219345#p219345 It implements a Wolfenstein-like camera, i.e. a camera that always looks horizontally and can have any Z rotation.

Note the demo doesn't activate depth buffers or backface culling.

no thank you, i wasn't aware of this

i know it's against the design somewhat, but the api is just so beautiful

Awesome thank you I'll take a look
