2D Tilesets to 3D FPS tool

I have hope, but it’s hard

Rotation is pretty much read!

Made some more progress since. Managed to sort out correct scaling (as far as I can tell), based on distance between player and tile. and currently working on doing angling correctly:

Did a bit more work. I can now do position and size/depth of the texture. I have also started working on faking the rotation of the texture, width change is working, just need to do different height based on how close the endge of the texture is to the camera.

Haven’t made much progress, have been mostly figuring out how exactly I want to make this work. One way to do it is to project a ray per pixel of the screen, figure out what it intersects with and draw the color that the texture should be at that point. I think this is the correct way to do it, but I have an alternative idea that might work too. However first I need to figure out a way to draw the texture exactly where I want it to be. which I managed to do tonight. The gif shows me manipulating the position of the texture through code. Now that I understand how to draw a texture in a specific position, I will need to figure out scale, which should be easy and angled textures, which might be a bit more difficult, but should still be doable. Once I got those I will start working on detecting which faces player can see.

Making some progress, managed to figure out how to pass the texture the player is currently looking at to the compute shader and display it on the screen.

Left is scene view and right is the game view:

I have hope, turns out my suspicions were correct and I can use shaders, more specifically compute shader in my case, and render texture to override what the camera is displaying

Now I just need to figure out what data I need to feed it and how to interpret it.

For the base game I decide to go with a simple maze game. Quickly thrown together placeholder art and a very basic that lets player move, but not move through walls.
