3d shapes for torque2d

#1 Torque2D is, as the name suggests, a 2D engine and therfore it does not support 3D models. You might want to have a look at MeshLoop by BitGap Games for how to convert 3D models to 2D images.

#2 Thanks Lukas,

Meshloop looks good will keep it in mind :)
I also found this post:

Thanks again.

#3 Wrong. 2TD does support 3d models.
There is also a tutorial how to use 3d shapes and import them.
The problem is you need to find a proper working .dts exporter.

Long a go I exported some models and played with them. But the new version is just not working for me. I don't know why.

#4 Hello Vlad,

yes, i followed the tutorial with the included shapes, and wanted to play with custom shapes, like props, bg elements, etc... So far i found this link with the old dts exporters, although unfortunatelly, there's no version for maya 2011 :)

Hope this helps.

#5 Much obliged for the link Francisco! I just tried the new exporter it all works. Finally I can export some 3d models into T2D.

Btw. Dont' forget T2D only takes textures with the power of 2.

#6 Another thought - now that T3D is MIT licensed you can use it to import your DAE and it will generate a .dts file for you named yourModelName.cached.dts in the same folder as your DAE file.
