GKC 3D Rendering

Help
1

Hello, long time no talk. But I recently got back into GKC just to kinda mess around. So, I was wondering, is it possible to make a 3D rendering system.

I know there are few guides already made, but the ones I saw were made in 2023-2024, and most of them never came to a concrete answer, whether that be no or yes.

When I say 3D rendering, I’m talking about this:
MINECRAFT" Block ~ Snow Covered Grass ...

Now, I’m NOT talking about adding color, or it being textured/shaded. I’m also not talking about making it a physical thing to touch and walk on. I’m talking about having a blank sheet of a coded projection screen to display 3-4 cubes at a time that can rotate at least in some form while keeping its shape.

If this is possible, it opens up so many possibilities. I understand the task at hand as well. I just wanted to reach out to the community and see what ya’ll have to say!

Not without some advanced barrier/text art.

this would definitely take some code though

I dunno why you can’t see the photo lol. It works for me just fine.

This is HIGHLY difficult, and it would take hours upon hours of work to do/complete. Overall, BH would’ve been your best bet at something like this.

@TaigaBiome it’s lightspeed that’s blocking the photos for cat

Didn’t BH leave the community? Or did he make a famous return.

Anyhow, I’m no stranger to tenacious work, and can stick to something I’m passionate about. But that doesn’t mean there’s a solution.

the way I’m thinking about this, is by using pixels set up by text. Since there is none closer (atp) to being able to project something.

Since Minceraft is set up using 16x16 pixels it can’t be to hard setting it up. But getting it to be dynamic with the plr’s camera movement would be hard. That’s what I’m trying to focus on.

Naturally, a xyz coord system would have to be put in to place, as that is what 3D shapes are all based on.

X, being the horizontal axis
Y, being the vertical axis
Z, being a lesser defined axis, serving as forward and back.

the text would have to be aligned with all times to represent a functional 3D shape that changes all of its axes based on the camera placement.

Haven’t seen you in a while lol.

Unfortunately, this is a duplicate topic.
I would say to mark a solution and close this one, and continue the conversation on this topic:

I would agree with you to close this, but I’m talking about separating the player from the shape. Not including the shape with the player.

And, the way that I saw it, personally, is that the build isn’t physical, and only functions as a piece of art.

You could try using custom shapes and carefully tracing out a cube. Based on what you said about rotating, you can control when it rotates, how fast it rotates, and what direction.
Or are you talking about the shapes being procedurally generated?

Yeah, moving and being able to see the different sides of a shape at specific angles isn’t that possible to my knowledge. You could make it a fixed 6 sections and you could teleport to each cube face.

Each number is a cube face and separate section of map

Also, I haven’t seen that specific school blocker since school grades 6-8. Nostalgia~.

True, but how complex would switching to each section have to be?

6 teleporters, 1 on each cube face, 4 Zones on each edge of the cube face. That way you can “walk” over the edges of the cube.

Edit: This would be a fun battle royal or pvp map. This probably isn’t what the OP was looking for, but this might be the closest thing to a 3D rendered object (on a large scale at least.)

Oh. Nice creativity. Colored barriers could be added on the edges to help differentiate what side they will go to if they go there.

Maybe we should add research tag?

Wouldn’t this have a use of a “going in circles” perspective? Yes, I see the possibility!

You’d only have about 8 frames of a cube if you were only goin in a semi-circle, and 14 in a full one.
Aren’t zones an easier option when being explained to beginners?

Yes, they are more expensive in this case, however it only takes a few channels and about 60 barriers.

DO NOT use wires, and DO use channels if you know what I’m talking about.
