hello everyone I was wondering if corona is going to add any 3D development
for us corona user or if there is anything out there already that can let us
corona user develop with corona sdk in 3D. I only have develop for IOS never
for android and I just got a hold of HTC Evo 3D and seems like a fun thing to
try for next developing app in 3D for android, any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

What if i`m underwater I need to hold my breath 
so I take there is no 3D Development
with corona or at least according to peach? I appreciate your response but just want to
be clear ^^; [import]uid: 30314 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 42486[/import]
for 3D - check out Unity3D.com
can’t get any clearer

@ kurosaki88 - As you have just bought an EVO 3D I assume you mean real 3D? If so then I doubt that will be coming in any middleware for mobiles any time soon, if at all, currently with only a few ( maybe just 1? ) device supporting it there just isn’t any point.
You could always do anaglyphic images though [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 42523[/import]
Yeah I figured it was not 3d-rendering but stereoscopic 3d games with or without weird glasses [import]uid: 10389 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 42541[/import]
@ Carlos Thanks i`ll look into it, since now I assume Corona wont support 3D

I own an Iphone4 I swapped from HTC Evo to iPhone to develop for apple since I
was not interested in developing for Android, my bro and uncle bought HTC Evo 3D
and its only a matter of time before iPhone goes 3D so how can you say there just isnt any point? Anyhow since the launch of Nintendo 3DS and now if im correct 2 mobile phones gone 3D and high rumors are iPhone 5 or the phone after iPhone 5 will support glasses free 3D, there will be plenty of mobile phones including iPhone going 3D and when that happens I am sure a lot of developers will be developing in 3D. But then again that is just your opinion and when I made this post I was hoping to find out if Corona had any plans on implementing 3D developing or not. Not to tell me there isnt any “point” to develop in 3D.
Note: The 3D i`m talking about btw is glasses free 3D just like Nintendo 3DS and
HTC Evo 3D (pops out the screen) , not 3D just because is not flat like 2D.

@ kurosaki88 - Sorry I probably worded that wrong, what I meant was that currently there isn’t any financial point or real priority for Ansca to add in support for it as right now there will only be a very small market. Personally, I would absolutely love to play with it and dev some real 3D rather than just messing about with Anaglyphic stuff however at present there are other higher priority to-do items for Ansca [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 42557[/import]
I’d hate 3D.
Imagine rewriting all my tutes to support it!
[import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 42659[/import]
I’d vote for 3D support now for that reason alone. You clearly don’t do enough work already [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 43092[/import]
Quiet BAFTA, unless you want me to hit you with the broom again. >:) [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 43201[/import]
Has anyone ever told you that you’re a very violent person [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 43270[/import]
Yes, after I beat them half to death with a broom for not shutting up.
PS - It may have been you. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 43389[/import]
I’d think I would remember that. Unless you hit my head.
P.S. Talk about off-topic thread hijacking [import]uid: 5833 topic_id: 11680 reply_id: 43461[/import]
I love magical purple monkeys flying on magical carpets singing songs of joy to the people of the earth.
Now that is hijacking, learn proper
Ahem, for the 3d stuff i’d say unity. When I was shopping around for a platform to use for game development (having no programming experience at all lol) I looked at
livecode (or they call it runrev) - this sucked.
Titanium Appcelerator - same as live code, but it builds business apps so it’s great for that (although what I see corona doing, I was considering doing some non game apps cuz it would be fun)
Cocos2d - a little more complicated that I wanted.
Unity 3d, this was a big one but again, it’s a heavy programming environment.
Which after all that I went with Corona (im getting ready to buy my license soon yea!).
As far as 3d, yea im not really a fan of 3d. I liked Avatar in 3D and certain other movies etc. But for 3d as in 3d (like first person 3rd person games) from what I am told UNITY is the bomb diggity.

Here’s how to use #unity3d:
youtube.com/tornadotwins
It’s not that hard, used it since 2006, before it was popular.
2D support (Sprites, etc) in Corona is much better though, and better 2D support is not on Unity’s radar at all according to their road-plan.
So for 2D apps: Corona. 3D: Unity.
Cheers!
