Is LC capable of working with 3D Graphics?
Tom

Hi Tom,

what exactly do you mean with 3D graphics?
Something like what "Untreal Engine" does?

I'm not quite sure Klaus.
I found a job that said that heavy use of 3D graphics is required. I assume that means the ability to rotate an image of a 3 dimensional object on the screen.

Maybe even the image of a scene.

Hm, not out of the box.

However Hermann Hoch (hh), who passed away way too early in spring last year,
made some clever things with and inside of the browser widget like (pseudo 3D) image manipulation, browse this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=120&t=25210
And check some of his works here:

Hope that helps.

Hi Tom,
LC does not support 3D libraries such as openGL etc, so creating a 3D scene natively isn't possible (as far as i know...), hopefully that will change at some point.

For now however, you could possibly work around this with webGL - Version 10 DP2, fixes issues with webGL and now functions properly. You may be able to do a fair amount of 3D stuff in webGL is that's feasible for you...

As an example, create an empty stack in version 10dp2, add a browser widget and set its URL to https://webglsamples.org/blob/blob.html and marvel Hope that helps,

Thanks Stan & Klaus.

Sorry for the typo Stam!

Here's something totally fake . . .
