Hi all,

I'm completely newbie in TGB, however i'm using TGE for a long time.

I've heard TGB supports .dts Shapes, is it true? If yes, what's the benefits usign .dts shapes into a 2d environment?

Thanks in advance,

Gustavo

Well, being able to render 3D models (animated and static). Since xyz rotation is supported, 3D shapes can be useful for some kinds of games, like for ships on a space shooter, since you can slightly rotate them when strafing to achieve a pretty good effect of depth.

Also, when you want characters that have a lot of animations then 3D models might make your life easier.
