Wanted to show you something cool:



Trying to make the most of these plugins. You may also recognize your Glow Worms effect in action :)

I do have a question, would it be possible to get a rotate towards object action for the 3D Object?
I know that you already have that available on the Rotate3D Behavior, but I didn't obtain very good results with that, the object loses its center. (Also seems a bit redundant?)

I tried doing it myself, but wasn't able to get it to work properly. My best results weren't that good as I couldn't get the 3 axis to work properly, only X and Y.

Here's a drawing of what I'm trying to achieve:

Ok I don't want to be a pain, but I do want to show you one last thing
^ ^'
I am having this issue when adding effects to 3D Object, and I am also getting this when adding Effects to a Sprite with the Rotate 3D behavior.

The object gets cut off either at the top or bottom (depending on object scale and Z Elevation.)

I did manage to work around this by setting the Layer Elevation of where I have the object to 1. But it just about works with the exact values I have for the object scale and whatnot, which is why in the previous message there is no visible glitch on the star. As soon as I change those values a little bit, I get the result on the video below.

One other problem that I get by having the 3D Object in a layer that has > 0 Z Elevation is that if I attempt to rotate it, it doesn't rotate on what should be its pivot point. (what I mentioned on the first comment)

I initially thought that this was a problem with Construct's 3D features in general, but I'm not getting these issues with the 3D shapes.

It would be great if these issues could be fixed somehow.

will have some time to look at this in a week or so, the addon is open source and we do take pull requests (approve submitted fixes)

Thanks for looking into it! Very appreciated.
It would be great to be able to freely use effects without these workarounds. These things are mostly what's holding me back at this moment. Once I'm able to overcome these limitations I should be able to get some eye widening results.

Ok, have some time to look at this, can you please send a test project with the issues and a little explanation about what to look for in the issue?
