Hi, I'm Sparky08 and I'm new to forums and to 3D Building, but I was curious if it's possible to make a totally 3D game, with full color, sorta like Mario 64, or all those other 3D plat former games, if there is I would love to know, also, since this is my first ever 3D project, are there any scripts that are advised to use? My friend Puppypaw(?), Nicklvsgames, and I are going to make a big RPG 3D game, so I was curious about if scratch is capable of total 3D enviroments and stuff, and how much data it can hold, if you can help me, that'd be great!

It's not possible to make true 3d, but you can make simulations. Try searching 3d engine on the site.

What he's saying is that scratch isnt meant to handle true 3d objects, however Using pen blocks, an old method of generating 3d objects can be re-created. Research "raycasting"

Yes, 3D is possible, but only to the extent that your frame rate with be completely unbearable.

No.  See array-based ray casters.  That's the same method some of old(ish) professionally made video games use, including (I think) DOOM, Wolfenstein, and a few others of the like.

You probably could, but It would probably take longer than usual (No, I never knew that!) and i bet it would be pretty laggy. But sure, I guess its possible.

No, sorry. Scratch isn't developed to nor does it have the capability of producing real 3D. However, like another poster said, it is possible to make simulations.

I'm not sure what you all mean by a 'simulation' of 3D, all games are a 'simulation' of 3D to some extent. The only true 3D things are actual objects in the real world. If you want an example of 3D, where the 3D is drawn properly and accurately, look at the project in my signature. Whilst still simulation, it's a lot more powerful than most methods.

Just remember all games are trying to simulate 3D, scratch can do it as well, but you have to write the functionality to do this.

Exactly.

For a true 3D environment you need 3D graphics libraries,
start with http://Alice.org

Check my featured gallery for 3D projects with Scratch...

It's possible, but not practical. If you had some sort of turbo-speed computer, blah, blah, blah. If you want to make 3D I suggest using Alice.
