I would like to know if you can have 3d chracters in TGB, because when you think of something that has animations one of the first things you think of are character animations.

You cannot have 3d models in TGB as it is a 2D engine, however you can generate 2D animated sprites from a 3D model in order to get animations into your game.

Not true... Check your local documentation for t2dShape3D.

what patrick said.

you can actually have 3D models on your game, but theres not much documentation on the matter.

theres even one game that took advantage of that, it was Archmage, from Rake In Grass.
