3D Computer Graphics Engine - CanvasDraw Tech Demo #3 | Roblox

In this video, I will be featuring my 3D Graphics Engine made entirely within roblox on a GUI using CanvasDraw.
This engine can render thousands of polygons in real-time up at 30+ FPS with a resolution of 150x150 pixels.
All though when recording with OBS on a crappy laptop, you get around 20 - 25 FPS.
The engine currently features the following:
- Basic .OBJ file reading and loading
- Basic vertex lighting
- Backface culling
- Triangle clipping
- Per-triangle sorting
- Rotational matrices
- Controllable camera
This engine has the capabilities to make actual 3D games within roblox on a GUI (without the use of viewport frames), all though the engine lacks some obvious features, such as:
- Textures
- Z-Buffer
- etc

That's really impressive, even more considering it was done in roblox

[@VuNamVEVO]

This got me flabbergasted. Actually impressive!

[@ricktherickrolled]

for some reason this feels much better than the current roblox, I love these engines inside roblox

[@the_formid6728]

you are insane, congrulations, perfect work.

[@thegoofypowerfull1]

plot twist: its a recording of a completely different game put over a roblox background
jk cool video

[@truestbluu]

3d engine within a 3d engine

[@DeafRookielahs2]

Please make it before 3am Part 3 as soon as possible. You can do it, and don't give up!

[@dontsubtome9769]

he said he paused development on after 3AM due to having an underpowered pc for a large project like after 3AM

[@CaptainIce69]

I cant with ur skill LOL also whens the after 3am coming out first one was chad

[@Ethanthegrand]

After 3 AM is unfortunately paused at the moment, the game is just an insanely large project, so Im taking a break from it and instead I will be releasing a smaller single player horror game that involves driving and fleeing from cars

[@CaptainIce69]

@@Ethanthegrand Ah so thats what the car ai is about yea makes sense first game was amazing I think u commeneted on it or somethin lol so ive been hyped for it ever since

[@amogus-dn8qn]

when I saw the thumbnail I was like, 'oh neat a 3d engine' but as soon as I saw the roblox loading screen I went WHAAAAA

[@amogus-dn8qn]

that's one quick heart lmao

[@deadpoobob]

looks pretty cool

[@someoneonea2]

what happend for advanced car system? if you stopped developing on it can i buy it?

[@showmaker8168]

this guy could make daggerfall on roblox

[@Zerkami248]

very nice, question though, is there any lighting or shadows? it would be pretty cool to see

[@Ethanthegrand]

Currently, there is real basic per vertex lighting, and no shadows. All though shadow casting is something I would like to try at some point

[@megaepicsupergamerplayinggames]

now the main question: But Can It Run Doom?

[@greplolmain]

I hope you release it on one day. it looks amazing!

[@imaz0mbie_]

homie making build engine
but better than ken silverman but when anti aliasing

[@unkoiboi]

Interesting

[@kyojin7177]

How does this work under the hood? With frames or does it use a viewport frame with parts to render the image? Pretty cool project.

[@Ethanthegrand]

This works with frames with UIGradients

[@kolotocar.official2324]

I'm sure you could make a complex 3D game with GUI

[@changinall79]

what does it look like in the script or how its need to look like

[@saaawdust]

ok now we need blender 💀💀

[@tooneysailor]

How????

[@jesuslovesu123]

how can anyone else make this? just asking cause people could make really good games with this

[@ask343]

That's sick but also useless since Roblox is already a 3D engine 😂

[@Ethanthegrand]

Exactly. All though this project isn’t completely useless though. With some small changes, this can be easily used for a custom pixelate post processing effect, which is a feature I wanted in roblox for ages.

[@ask343]

@@Ethanthegrand oh that would be cool you're right, maybe make a side scrolling platformer with it

[@Ethanthegrand]

@@ask343 at that point I dont even need the 3D engine. a 2D side rolling platformer would be a relatively easy project to make

[@ask343]

@@Ethanthegrand fair

[@thecout3170]

you could program idk, doom, and then just use roblox as the server for it.

[@assortedrobloxhero]

How

[@OFFWHITY]

I know all devs get annoyed by THISS question but are you planning to sell this don't worry I mean good money by that.

[@Ethanthegrand]

Not at the moment at least. This engine has many issues and flaws that i would probably want to fix before releasing this to the public in any way

[@orbitaloutcast9878]

Are you going to make something with this? Or are you going to go straight into paid open-source?

[@Ethanthegrand]

Yeah, I might make end up making something with this, such as a custom pixelate post processing effect or something.
And also I dont think this is going to be an open sourced thing. It wasn’t ever intended to be too as this was just a project. And also there’s heaps of issues with this engine in its current state that I would need fix and clean up if I did release this.

[@orbitaloutcast9878]

@@Ethanthegrand Well, keep the world updated! I'm sure alot of indie developers would be frothing at the mouth to get their hands on a good 3d resource that replicates a currently unsupported roblox feature.

[@DanielBerzinskas]

I wanna see if I can run it at 40+ FPS!

[@Ethanthegrand]

It actually can on a mid-range pc without recording. I’ve managed to run the scene at around 45 FPS

[@bondo532]

yo wtf?

[@tkr_josh1217]

you got a discord?
