This library is still in beta, you can expect some bugs... |
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR ANOTHER LIBRARY OF THE SAME NAME SEE : L3D Library
This library allows you to simulate pseudo-3D, although you can model some basic 3D polyhedrons with the 3D triangles. There are also other functions too.
Download
Love3D Library.zip Current Version : 0.3.0 [The Light Update]
Instructions
- Unzip the .zip file
- If you are using this, put the Love3D.lua in your .love file
- On the outside of any function in main.lua add :
require "Love3D"
- Then on the INSIDE of love.load(), near the end of the function, add :
love3D.load(fl, vpX, vpY)
- (Note : FL means Focal Length. This value is usually 250. vp means Vanishing Point) And your done! Just call the functions and your ready to go!
