Perspective camera

by Jude Beers · in Torque Game Builder · 03/29/2006 (3:38 pm) · 3 replies

I looked around to see if anyone else had asked, and surprisingly no one had. Making a top-down game here, but would like to use 3D shapes for buildings in an urban environment. Is there anyway to get a perspective projection camera in T2D (without touching the code that is)? Otherwise, you can only see the rooftops of the buildings...

If you use 3D shapes you can rotate them, skew them, etc. That might be a way to acheive what you want.

So I guess that's a no? :)

Not a problem really - we can just use Torque instead of T2D, but we wanted to make sure a perpective camera in T2D was out of the question before we made that decision.

Thanks.

Actually, it was a yes. You can rotate,etc the 3D shapes to get the perspective you want. Of course, it might just be easier to use TGE if you're going to be doing a lot of playing.
