Hi All,

Just a quick quesion, I have a nice 3D model which I'd like to incorporate in my 2D game, possibly during an attract sequence.

I've done 2D over 3D ( Video Reels ) and this works fine, so what would be the best way to acheive the opposite?

Any suggestions as to the method to follow?

Thanking you kindly,

Depends what you're trying to accomplish. If it's simply drawing 3D objects in front of 2D sprites instead of behind, the SetGlobal3DDepth() command will get you there. I don't think you can set the 2D depth on a per 3D object basis though, so anything more complicated will likely require taking manual control over the rendering order using the Update/Render/Draw/Swap etc commands instead of using Sync().

Could you replace the 2D object with a plane in the 3D world?

BASIC appeared in May 1964. Lightning flashed, the wind roared and the Earth moved.
And nine months later I was born.
So here I am.
I am Basic.
Code is in my genes.
