Scratch... 3D?

I was wondering, if, the Scratch developers might make a three-dimensional spin off from Scratch: Scratch 3D. I really think they should make it!!! big_smile  tongue  wink

Re: Scratch... 3D?

Already suggested a lot of times, and will probably never be done.

You can use StarLogo TNG which is similar: http://education.mit.edu/drupal/starlogo-tng

Re: Scratch... 3D?

Starlogo is pretty much the same as scratch, but in 3d... or that is what it looks like from the pictures.

Re: Scratch... 3D?

If they cant add it they should add just a google sketchup plugin for sprites.I will just love it

Apple already did that with Quartz Composer. Sprites with 3D but it's a developer tool for mac.

Woo, even better minecraft clone! | I feel that programming is better than animation, because you can interact with games but not animations.

I heard something about Alice... It has tutorial and big resources base. I'm trying it out now.

Re: Scratch... 3D?

i think scratch just needs a .3ds or .skp plugin to become 3d
by the way u can still make 3d projects with scratch with a lot of work

I just don't htink it will ever happen. It takes up too much time and resources, which frankly the Scratch team doesn't have.

So you can make 3d sprites, have a z axis, etc.

Re: Scratch... 3D?

Sound complex, but better than the current version. There would have to be a toggle 2D/3D button though.

Re: Scratch... 3D?

Well, there is a way to make 3D games, but I hear its amazingly complicated.

Re: Scratch... 3D?

A 3D version of Scratch would be great! So many more game opportunities would open up, and you could have "Camera" blocks to change the perspective, ie; zoom in/out, rotate view X degrees.

Re: Scratch... 3D?

Honestly, has anyone thought about how hard this would be? Often people ask for something ridiculous and they don't think about how stupid it is. This is a case. Scratch would be impossibly hard to program in 3D. And it wouldn't work as well in some cases.

You can make 3D looking sprites and backgrounds, but you will never capture the true 3D project.

Yes... You are right. I think there is software that lets you program in 3D though...

Yeah, um incase you haven't heard, THAT ISN'T REAL 3D! By 3D, it means actual 3D models, and the z dimension...

Re: Scratch... 3D?

How would you make sprites (well models now that it's 3D)? The paint editor would have to be completely changed... Then the model editor would have to either be easy or detailed and complicated. And scratch is meant to be simple. A lot of things would be confusing in 3D for scratch. Scratch is meant to TEACH BASIC programming, by the time you want to do real 3D you should move on from scratch.
