Love2d with some basic 3d functions??

[Murii]

Hello,since love2d uses SDL and OpenGL I think some basic functions for 3d would be nice to have because lots of people love 2d but everyone loves 3d.If this is not something that the main devs want to make then can you give me some little tips on where to look into the source code to try implementing my own solution? Thanks!

I guess its more of my personal opinion but love2d is called love2d for a reason. Then again cocos2dx can render 3d aswell, and you can use lua on it. That being said, I think I remember seeing in the past in the projects some 3d attempts, like oysi3d, but that might be just having a 3d working on top of love. Also I faintly recall seeing a project where someone actually recompiled most of love2d to actually have truly hardware accelerated 3d with model loaders and such with löve.

What I personally love about love2d is the fact that it is focused on 2d, and it works. I haven't really ran into problem with love2d where something just didnt work and thats the beauty of love2d.

Honestly if I were to truly look for 3d, I personally would look other game engines like: Cocos2dx, Urho3D, Polycode, Maratis, Gameplay3D or Leadworks. If you do not care about the lua part, then Godot is quite interesting project or just going unity3d.

Anyways opinions are opinions, everyone has one and so on.

Edit: Forgot to mention, there is such thing as meshes in löve2d, which you can create some 3d objects? I am not sure, since I have not really put any time on figuring out, but from what I understand, they do have x,y and z -coordinate.

"project where someone actually recompiled most of love2d to actually have truly hardware accelerated 3d with model loaders and such with löve." Where?

I haven't really taken a look at it, but just remembered seeing a project like this in the project page some time ago.

love2d is the domain, the engine is called LÖVE!

3D is not in the scope of LÖVE anyway but that topic up there might help getting started, or you could do pseudo 3D, like raycasting or mode 7 (search for those term in this forums and you will find lots of info)

Hello! As one of the LOVE3D devs, I'd like to mention a few things. First off, the code we compiled is actually going to be part of LOVE 0.10, so once 0.10 hits we will be using the vanilla build of LOVE, not our custom build.

All of our 3Dness is currently done with our custom math library written in pure Lua and hasn't been compiled into a neat API yet, though it is still quite usable. We've completely rewritten our posted demo and once we make it look a bit nicer we plan to release a new one, but the core love3d/math code is still basically the same (though it has a few fixes both in functionality and api normity).

When I try to run your tank game from github I get this error : generator.lua:191: Invalid number of vertices.

Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to trying it out when it is done

Not sure why you're getting an error, but you should use the love-und-panzer git repo instead, it is the most up to date code and should be in working order.
