I did some stuff with 3D triangles lately and I found some problems:

Probably bugs:

1. At some random spots the trigger to create a new triangle disappeares when you are too close to another triangle.

2. It's really hard to clip to create a new triangle with the existing edges, when further away. And then comes the problem in, that the trigger disappears when you are too close.


3. One side is half see through. And sometimes it just randomly put the backside facing to you.

General stuff:

4. You can't copy keyframes from 2D and 3D triangles. Which is super annoying, when you want it to stay in the same place.


5. The shadows on the traingles are super pixely. See the difference from the shadow on the white 3D triangle and the platform.
(Both with and without shadows calculated) and this is on highest grafics.

Hello again!

Regarding point 3 - The video helped me understand what you are doing, however it would be much easier to see the issue from your perspective if we could have screenshots or a video of your 3D triangle creation. Would that be possible? If your issue is clearly presented, it will make it easier for us to try to reproduce it and investigate and potential issues.

4. Thank you very much for the image. Considering there is an error, that suggests this is intended behaviour and there is a technical limitation to it. I will submit this as a suggestion however and see what the team say

Thanks again!

Hey!

Thank you for contacting us, I hope you are well.

I will do the best I can to tackle each of your points -

1|2. I will report the creation of triangles to the Trackmania team, perhaps they can improve this to allow you to zoom in closer

3. Would it be possible to provide more images, or a video of what you see? The single image makes it difficult to determine if there is an issue, and how best to tackle it.

4. Just to make sure I understand correctly. Are you saying you can't copy keyframes between 2D and 3D triangles, or you can't copy them at all?

5. This will be reported too! I may need to come back to you with more questions if we are unable to reproduce it

Thank you!

I could imagine it's due to the fact that you can copy between lines now and more than one 3d triangle block can there be now and the game fails when you would copy it into another block.

But it would be awesome if the ctrl copy thing from tm2 would be implemented for the 2d and 3d triangles then. (clicking on one keyframe and then holding ctrl and clicking on the other one)
Hey there,

Thanks for the suggestion, we'll let the team know.

Further to Raziel's post, are you still encountering this issue and if so would it be possible to view some screenshots of your 3D triangle creation for us to continue to look into this?

Thank you!
