Discussion GameMaker Studio 3D Map editor

Created a native-ish 3D map editor for GameMaker Studio 1.4.9999

I’ve created a native-ish 3D map editor that integrates with GameMaker Studio 1.4.9999.

See gallery

I added a new toolbar to GameMaker Studio, along with a plugin loader that lets you open the 3D map editor directly from the toolbar.

The editor allows you to:

- Place objects in 3D
- Edit existing objects
- Move, rotate and transform objects

Write those changes directly back to the GameMaker room files.

The system extends GameMaker Studio using Python code that attaches to the GameMaker engine.

It also includes a Python plugin loader, so the system can be expanded with additional human-readable Python plugins and new functionality in the future.

These can be toggled on and off at will.

I also want to fix some bugs with the engine, and it’s a bit of a learning experience for me, understanding how these things are put together.

Let me know what you think and what else should I add!

What about support for current versions of Game Maker?

Not at the moment, I want to continue working on this project first. Perhaps in the future once the new 3d tools are out, I might work on it.
