Any plans to update to use DynamicImage?

wait dude, you canā€™t tell me itā€™s already in the engine?? I can use instance.new() and insert one.

I literally tried doing that this morning like 3 or 4 hours ago and there wasnā€™t anything.

And yea, definitely plans to use this once it actually releases.

#186

When i use it it says in output: " DynamicImage is not yet enabled!"

So i think you canā€™t use it yet.

#187

oh yeah I knew that from the beginning. I was just surprised itā€™s actually just sitting in the engine, meaning itā€™s coming pretty close to being enabled at some point

please add transparency feature, it would be so revolutionary. imagine what people will createā€¦ this on billboard? procedural fire animation, procedural blood scatteringā€¦ etc

#189

Ill see if DynamicImage will allow this when it comes out as that is the new system ill be migrating CanvasDraw to.

If it does end up supporting transparency, I will definitely add transparency support

DynamicImages seem to have RGBA colors, WritePixels takes an array with RGBA values, ā€œ{ r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a, r, g, b, a ā€¦ }ā€.

if dynamic mesh comes out, will u still keep the current module as a legacy module? or will u delete it?

#192

Thereā€™s no reason to delete it, dynamic images can just improve the library

I definitely donā€™t plan on full on deleting anything lol.

Once DynamicImage releases, CanvasDraw will just use that as itā€™s internal canvas handler rather than a complex UI Gradient based canvas.

All though I will probably release some sort of an archive or a thread containing old versions of CanvasDraw.

Sadly, dynamic mesh was removed a long time ago in a beta. We can no longer dent our mesh-based cars.

But Iā€™m looking forward to dynamic images.

What are you talking about?

DynamicMesh has not been deleted at all, and will not be deleted for it was shown at the RDC23 Keynote, in fact the one shown was an upgraded version of DynamicMesh that can be run in real-time.

Yeah, but it requires bones to run. The older version did not.

#197

No, it doesnā€™t require bones, I donā€™t know where you got that from.

Bone based deformation is called something with skin, which is an entirely different area of mesh editing, dynamic mesh allows us to edit anything about a mesh down to reach even vertices.

#198

So, MeshDeformer was replaced by DynamicMesh for absolutely no reason?

Could you make a Tutorial on how to make 3D engines? Because I am kinda confused about how that works.

#201

There heaps of tutorials online on how to make 3D engines from scratch.

I highly reccommend following along with this tutorial series. Itā€™s simple and easy to follow along and port to CanvasDraw as the concept and code logic is exactly the same.

This is the tutorial I followed to make my own 3D rasterizer on roblox.

Should be easy enough to port to lua too if you understand any other programming language
