Making a 3D add-on for RPG Maker Unite
Added 2023-05-12 18:23:20 +0000 UTCCurrently in the early stages of development. I've started working on a 3D plugin/add-on for RPG Maker Unite. As you can see in the images, it's currently more of a mode-7 kind of effect, but more advanced 3D will be possible in the future.
I have gotten 3D lighting working as well, but currently shadows aren't working. Unite uses canvases to render the characters, and I don't think canvases and tilemaps are capable of casting or receiving shadows. I might have to replace the tilemap and characters with proper 3D meshes to get them working.
In the future I'd also like to add support for heightmaps and 3D characters.
No downloads quite yet, but I'll post the add-on here as soon as it's ready. Let me know your thoughts on this.
Also don't worry, I fully intend to continue developing and supporting MV3D and MZ3D as well. I won't be switching my main focus to Unite unless they make a lot of improvements to the engine.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll have it fixed in the next bug fix update.
2023-05-13 12:18:08 +0000 UTCThere is a bug with MZ 3D. When you save a game, press F5 to restart, and then load the game again, all of the tiles that you assigned as sprites, cross, etc all stay down and flat as if you didn't assign them. You will have to deactivate the quick start plugin in order to see the error. When you start a new game, it will allow to load the game and see the spites/cross tiles properly until you save again.
