Card 2D on the 3D camera

LoveB

Hello, I'm new to godot engine and I want to make a 3D card Game but the Card is 2D and the board is 3D, how can i show the 2D card in the bottom of 3D camera (it's like the usual card game, the card is showing in the bottom of the camera)? Or should I make a 3D card for a 3D camera ? Thanks

LoveB You could simply have a CanvasLayer over your 3D scene (like a HUD UI) and show your 2D card images as a TextureRect or Sprite2D.

LoveB I'm also working on a 3D card game. For me, the best solution was to also create the cards as a 3D object. This solves several problems such as shadow projection, perspective, and card flipping animations.

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. For the six cards on the bottom of the canvas, I think it will need the coding to do it right? (like the starter card). Do you have some advice for me, where should i start it ? I watched some Youtube tutorials for card. He's really good but i just understand a little bit.

LoveB If I had to build this then my first spontaneous thought would be:

Add a CanvasLayer for the card UI.
Add a CenterContainer that keeps your cards centered. Set its anchor preset to "bottom wide".
Add an HBoxContainer for the cards.
And then add your cards in some way from your code.

If all this sounds too complicated then that's totally fine. In that case just do a step back and make something simpler first. For example play around a bit with the Godot UI system. Break down the things that you don't understand and make small test projects just about these specific issues.

Thank you so much, you even make an example for me. I understand this one because I really try to make and do all tutorials just for my experience in Godot. I really appreciate it. I have done making the simple game ( tic tac toe game) but based on YouTube tutorials

Thanks for your advice, it's okay that I see your game ? (I am really weak at coding something. I tried to learn it but somehow I only got 40-50% of the knowledge) or do you have discord that i can add? ( maybe i can learn something from you)

LoveB Of course, I'm happy to share 😃
Now I'm at my day job, but later I can publish here what I've already done and the problems I've already solved (several with the help of this community 😉
