Post by threedslider »

Hi,

New and thank you to team for making Irrlicht !

Ok, a question, it is possible for Irrlicht to make 3D games in 2D platform? How to transform it? What about to control for viewing or camera?

Hm, not getting what you mean. Do you mean something like putting 3d models in a side-scroller?
Maybe do a quick drawing to explain what you want to do exactly.

Sure, you can do that. Just draw the background first and then the models, then they will be on top of the background.
