MV3D / MZ3D Turns your RPG Maker MV Games into 3D! || Feature Overview of my Favorite Plugin EVER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2025
- With RPG Maker MV, you can make your very own game without any programming knowledge whatsoever.
But because of its inherent extensibility, the engine allows you to create and share plugins made with javascript in order to obtain all kinds of features that don't come with the engine by default.
NOW, MV3D has come into the 3D space with Dread's MV3D plugin! This amazing plugin renders your map scenes in 3D! Let's take a detailed look at all of the features available in 0.5.4!
EDIT: 0.6 IS NOW AVAILABLE! Stealthily released before I even had a chance to even publish this video!! So expect yet ANOTHER video detailing the awesome new features -- THERE IS NOW 3D MODEL IMPORTS!!! KJDHSG
Support Dread's MV3D plugin, you can visit her itch.io for the perpetual license!

Holy jesus, this changes everything.
I just spend a whole month making maps, events and building my own assets... im extremely tempted to start a new project now

It's really worth it. I have spent the last 3 weeks playing with making tweaking, and using 3D models in MV3D, as well as tweaking parameters for tilesets, and using them in scenes adjusting the camera, and playing with cinematic ideas
You can get some really good looking indoor, and outdoor results with little knowledge, but it certainly does change EVERYTHING you know about the current RPG Maker engine, now you have to consider not only layers, and their depth, but also perspective.
It feels like the next step to RPG Maker game design, and TBH should have been natively in MZ just cause if how much it can compete with Smile Game Builder.
@@ProtoPropski so far i played around with it and its great, i made a small game that has hunter npcs which you avoid and target npcs which you kill, you kill by chasing and interacting with to injure them and later finish them off, im now trying to find somekind of bullet hell or alike plugin to make it have a more interesting non jrpg combat mechanic otherwise i think a horror game with puzzles and a slowly creeping monster could work great with this plugin
RIght??
@@ProtoPropski I dont know anything about programming in 3D, how hard it is to use this plugin??
Imagine the Cutscene Potential.
A slight camera roll + close up when the villain confronts the hero, or if the Hero sees a family member or friend die.
a slow pan from Villain to Hero party.
Having camera control like that does make for really awesome dramatic scene potential!
This is awesome! I've been considering on making a new RPG Maker game for a while and this has got me encouraged.
I'm definitely going to mess around with it a bit to understand how it all works.
Thank you for that extensive breakdown. I am heading to go buy this amazing plugin for both mv and mz after this. Keep these greats coming
I rarely watch entire rpg maker video tutorials but yours kept me hooked all the way! You made it look so easy and inviting! Thanks a lot :)
Wow, that is super nice and really great to hear...thank you!!
1:35 This makes making a first person rpg so much easier! Will definitely look into this
This makes me want to go back and redo some of the games I made. This plugin is neat.
Not only do I encourage this, I would love to do let's plays of the new and the old (similar to what I am doing with adventure field).
Kind of reminds me of those old 3D-ish games with 2D sprites. Like early ES.
This video reminds me of the Skyrim modders making games better then what the developers intended.
Thank you for the calm voice!
I can not say any more than THANK YOU! This changes everything!
This is an amazing example of what you can do with rpg maker.
Reminds me of the graphics for games like Final Fantasy Tactics on the PS1, and slightly of Mode 7 on the SNES as well. Very interesting.
Great demo of the plugin 👏
This is awesome, it just shows how terribly far behind the actual Devs are that it takes the community to actually make RPG maker good.
Incredible! Thank you for sharing all this information :)
Your voice is soothing, plus I found a great plugin thanks to you. Subbed!
Nice, thank you!! And enjoy!
I wanna try to make a game again with rpg maker. And I saw this. Pretty cool!
The Creator of this Plugin deserves a real Job in the Gaming Industry. I hope the Game Devs take notice of this and Hire them, especially because I want this to be available on the Switch Version. I would easily pay at least $20 for this as DLC on the Switch, in a heartbeat!!
We just need the devs to give us the ability to use plugins for the console ports in general!
@@AmalgamAsh They are probably going to release some stuff as Paid DLC.
@@kriz2432 No doubt about it, that's what they did with RPG Maker FES for the 3DS...but it was all limited assets, not functionality. That's why we can't have nice things, to be honest. It was microtransaction hell!
This looks like something that would interest me. I've been working on a horror game using GB Studio, and I kept thinking it would be cool to make it in a game made using a raycasting engine, but I haven't found too much besides the Doom engine and the Build engine. This looks like it could work for me, especially the first person mode.
I guess I'd just have to look into making custom sprite assets and importing them into this.
I try to cover as many engines as possible here. Take a look around some of my playlists, you might find something interesting!
@@AmalgamAsh I’ll definitely have to. I’m not much of a programmer though, mainly an art guy.
So I’m quite experienced with MV been using it for over two years now but I’m having trouble finding good tutorials on this plugin. I bought the premium version and joined the Patreon. Do you think you can make an in depth tutorial? I know now you can also add 3D models and I’m totally lost lol. PS your voice is super relaxing you should think about doing ASMR 🤪
Thank you for commenting!
I appreciate the feedback a lot :). i think a few people in the discord (did you join that too?) are looking to make various tutorials on the functions. But it might be useful to some if I go ahead and make a few introductory things too. For now, Dread in the discord is super responsive and helpful and we are all trying our best to support her in that regard too and share the knowledges. Keep an eye out for more info though!
Is this on mz?
Yes.
looks amazing!!
This is freakin awesome
Holy crap I hope this works for mz. I am creating a game and this just blew my mind
Look for mz3d, it is out!
Currently making a game using MV3D and Alpha ABS. My two fav plugins cuz they allows me to make the kind of game I wanna create. A demo should be ready in about a few days.
Feel free to share with me if you'd like a playthrough, I'd love to play more mv3d!
@@AmalgamAsh 10/4
This should me RPG MAKER MZ!
The developer is planning to make mz3d as well.
Dont worry they made it!
this is very beautiful
Now what I need to know is if this can be combined with a plugin that has monaters attacking from the overworld.
You can. Chainer used ChronoEngine to make a real-time battle system for his game Fractalis, I've got gameplay videos up if you'd like to see the result (game has been updated since as well).
Very interesting. I have always wanted a program that could do games like Bard's Tale, or Might & Magic 3, 4 and 5 (first person, with block movement in just 4 directions). Thanks.
Amazing
How does this affect the default battle system, if at all?
It only affects map scene data, so the battle system is completely unaffected.
Me: a guy who always loved rpg maker: “sh*t. Here we go again”
This is amazing
I can’t get the tile set notes for the 3d to work properly is there a way I can get them without the demo because when I try to load file from demo it say actor.JP’s is not working can you help me out please?
Join the discord in the description, someone should be able to help you shortly after you post there!
@@AmalgamAsh ok thanks
I tried the demo and I really like it! I just suggest that when turning corners quickly in the FPS mode such as-- the dungeons for example-- that the lag of turning slowly be removed so it's sort of instant or somewhat faster since I was struggling to turn into the correct corridor instead of instantly turning where I needed to go. I could see that being a struggle during a chase scene for players. Also I know it would be a struggle to do, but being able to add windows and doors to the other side of houses would be great too, idk how that'd be possible.. But would really make it feel more 3D. Other then that I loved it.
Check the links in the description!
god damn it bro there is literally not a singel resource available on how to do some of the things depicted here , dreams shattered
I have a few tutorials, there is another creator named Rikyu who has done several, look him up
his tutorial series is very specific as to what it actually teaches you to do, and where would i find your tutorials?@AmalgamAsh
I only have a sample few. There are a couple other creators that I don't really recommend but rikyu does have his arranged like a course. As far as the things in the demo, all of that is included -- I didn't have to edit anything to get what you see I the vid. At least, that's how it was when I downloaded it years ago 😆
If you do want to see my tutorials, you should be able to find everything by searching "amalgamash mv3d"
This is wild! I used to play around with RPG Maker 95 back in the early 2000's and I see this series has come A LONG way! How customizable have these games come along? I'd like to make a game where the main character can jump rope, throw rocks, roller blade, etc. Are there ways to do this with the latest version of RPG maker OR is this software still only allowing for movement throughout the game?
Thank you for the comment ^o^ rpg maker is fundamentally still the same as its always been, except for amazing plugins that have been created (like this one) by creative developers. I think the actions you describe could definitely be done with animations for the sprite. For roller blading, just changing the actor sprite to one that includes the roller blades and using that for movement would work! That's how I'd do it, I'm sure there are tons of other solutions to those and similar cases!
Oh my... Today you changed my life.
You have a beautiful voice
Is your game finished yet?
this made want to work on rpg maker
Just started with RPG maker yesterday. I'm so tempted to buy this plug in now but maybe I should wait till I've actually completed a game before thinking about making it 3D.
Just thinking, would it be possible to display a split screen with side by side and small camera offset could this be made to display stereoscopic in VR?
It's totally possible to make your game in 3d after your done (though will be quite a process depending on how complex you made your maps in 2d!)
That's an interesting question about VR. You can't do it without doing some coding. That said, the dev used to have a goal of taking this and making it somehow VR compatible. I don't know if we will get there, or how soon!
@@AmalgamAsh There's an MV plugin for multiple cameras, not sure if it's compatible with MZ or MZ3D though.
If it's compatible in theory it should just be a matter of configuring the two plugins if you just want a stereoscopic 0dof view. I'm going to give it a try.
Full VR will no doubt be a lot more work.
Oooohhhh, two simultaneous cameras?
Can you show me a link? I'll test it myself!!
@@AmalgamAsh Didn't work with MZ unfortunately but you can find it here:
watch?v=-sl7sz52FSY
I strongly recommend you continue scripting and three-dimensionalizing your game simultaneously. It would be super hard to make it 3d afterward from my experiences.
This might be a stupid question but I’ll ask anyway lol. Is it possible to just have one area 3D or does it make the whole game 3D? I have an idea for my game to just be a normal RPG but during specific chase sequences it switches to 3D, I just don’t know if it’s possible 🥹
The maps you choose, and even then you can toggle it on and off!
@@AmalgamAsh oh that’s awesome then!! Thanks for letting me know! 🙏🏻
Can you use this plugin in MZ?
Yes, there is an mz3d :)
few questions- does it let you jump (basic platforming, like in Paper Mario) and does 3D apply to the battle screen? This has made me very interested in trying to make a Paper Mario RPG fangame with it, i haven't used RPG Maker in years and i remember it being difficult to implement jumping (and Paper Mario-style action commands)
thank you for the questions and checking out the video ^_^
MV3D is for map scene rendering only, so you'd have to make your own 3d battlebacks (which would be *very* easy to do if you just took screenshots of your mv3d maps!).
Jumping is just as possible using mv3d as it is without -- meaning limited, but usable for things like controlled jumps across platforms.
You, you can! I've made a 3D (paper Mario style) platformer with it. But for battling, you have to make your own engine, or use Chrono Engine, which will use 3D particularly well.
Hey do you know when the 3d model support for this plugin is coming out?
It is out now! Check out the links in the description -- they stealth released it!
Can I make it point and click, not WASD movement?
There are plugins for click-to-walk, if I am not mistaken
So, first off, does this work with custom tiles? And secondly, will I have to make a new project with the same events and such to get it loading?
This will load any tiles as long as they work with rmmv to begin with.
You can apply it to your current project, but you will need to adjust things. The same is true for a new project, though.
@@AmalgamAsh First off, I just wanna say you are a LEGEND for still replying to old videos, and also thanks!
how did you get the events to show details like that in 12:00 ? Having those to check while testing would be super helpful!
Oh! I simply made use of the functions to display variables in the message window command. I displayed each variable that represented the camera's different axis positions, and just played with spacing to get everything to *appear* to display in columns.
Hello! Does this work with custom characters sizes or only with the default size?
It'll work woth customs too.
This looks awesome! Loved almost everything except indoor 1st person camera. Can u maintain perspective camera indoors?
Yep, everything camera related is completely customizable and confogurable.
When I load up the game, the camera will ALWAYS face up. Any way to fix this bug?
Check out the discord link in the description, and see if tech-support can help
Is this compatible with the tactics battle system from Aleq1n?
If that battle system is free, try it out. But I think it might have conflicts if the system runs on the map scene that gets rendered.. if you let me know it is compatible, I'll video the FAQ and definitely credit you ^^
@@AmalgamAsh it is, ill give it a go, if so it'd be a pretty perfect fit for a good tactics ogre style game.
A LOT of people are looking for a good compatible plugin like this! I hope it works out well!
@@AmalgamAsh I tried SRPG engine, and it seemed to work with a little configuration, I'm not experienced in the use of either plugin yet, so I just shoved mv3d into the demo project for the SRPG engine, and it worked except for the space indicators, I could choose where the characters moved but couldnt see the red or blue squares which indicated how far they could move, i'm sure with a little editing that issue could be fixed. But I still am not sure how to even set the camera to isometric in the mv3d plugin
I haven't read all the comments yet but is this compatible with a tactics battle system plugin?
If your battle system is in the map scene, it will require lots and lots of eventing, and possibly getting into scripting to get everything working exactly.
@@AmalgamAsh ah ok I'm working on a turn base tactics game and I saw this and thought it would look cool.
Because I do want to learn to add isometric at some point. I'll keep that in mind thanks.
@@AmalgamAsh I am using this one by arleq1n ruclips.net/video/Uf3b-STrGRU/видео.html
I'm still going through the thread for a problem I'm having in it but if you think it's possible to mix them both I'll try learning how to do it
*I used to use the free trial version of vx ace, I just bought this Friday and am trying to get back into it*
So I put the plugin in the plugins folder. enabled the plugin and took the MV3d file in img... but i cant understand what I need or where to put anything
Look on my channel for a help video on mv3d. That should get you on the right track!
do you know if this would work with mz as well? I’ve been reading though the comments looking to see if it’s been asked already but can’t seem to find anything. sorry I know this video is like a year old at this point
Mz3D is live and supports mz!
feels like a cross between doom and wolf engine lol
Parallax backgrounds might pose a problem...
You *probably* wouldn't parallax in 3D, but if you did have a need for 2D backgrounds that used that effect, you can definitely set them up that way on the map away from the player. You can also use 3d objects in the same way.
Skyboxes are possible with the premium if you need more options.
@@AmalgamAsh I wanted to take advantage of parallax by using graphics outside the tilesets. Still, 3D FP would be good for tight dungeons like in Phantasy Star 1.
I think it looks like there might even be more than one way of doing it.
this plugin handles FP viewpoints pretty well, it would be great for style of game. Esoecially if you get creative changing the field of view.
Cool.
is it use effekseer engine into to RPG MAKER MV?
No, only mz.
@@AmalgamAsh the website says MV and MZ
Is it possible to make a elder scrolls type game with rpg maker??
That depends on what you want to use from ES. All the gameplay mechanics? Absolutely i think,, as long as you use the necessary plugins.
@@AmalgamAsh how user friendly is rpg maker ???
This is hard for me to answer. The software has been changed up and features added for quite a long time, so it does try to be user friendly. You should definitely look for a demo or trial of rpg maker, MV in particular if you think mv3d will suit your needs.
Having said that, mv3d is a plugin that will require a good understanding of mv first, to use. Its doable, and not overly complicated, and there are good communities for both. Expect to give it some time though!
You can look at Smile Game Builder if you want an alternative solution, check out the trial on Steam and if you like it, it is actually on sale now!
Genio ❤️
How do I adust the camera?
The latest version of mv3d allows native camera control, or you can set notetags to set map default camera values, and change camera with script using events, or I've also got a plugin that should be linked (its on my itch page) that allows you to control the camera in a different way as well.
@@AmalgamAsh dunno how that works
Oh my god I need to get ahold of this
Lots to catch up on, it only gets better from this vid!
@@AmalgamAsh I bet, I'm working on an rmmv project right now and this would be perfect for it.
That's awesome, I can't wait to see how it goes. Hit me up anytime if you'd like a playthrough or presentation on the channel!
@@AmalgamAsh Will do
How's the performance? Do your computer fans blow like a military jet? Frame drops? Game freezes? Game crashes? Long load times? etc...
Check out my mv3d playlist.
I know title says MZ already but in the description I can only read MV is this only for MV or works for MZ as well ? also the demo is for MV not MZ does it matter ?
there is a version for MV and a separate one for MZ.
sorry for being so late, but on the off chance that anyone sees this, is this plugin compatible w yanfly plugins?
Any of them that don't affect the map scene.
For those that do, several actually do work, but some may need tinkering. Some don't work at all.
@@AmalgamAsh thank you so much!!
This is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to try it out!!
Can someone please help me with the movement plugins he mentions at around 1:45?
I can find Quasi Movement which I guess is "Q-Movement" but I can't find Alt Limit/Ultimate/Altimate or whatever he's saying.
Sorry! It is Altimit movement. Try that?
@@AmalgamAsh Thanks much!
*Now, if only this could be implemented in the Nintendo Switch version...!!!*
Yeah, console versions of the platform...are why we can't have nice things ;_;
But just as well, you can use this plugin and possibly deploy your game to the Switch platform.
I tried the test project and it worked out great but when I tried it on my project the sky box isn't there (I'm using the free version btw) So does anyone know how to get the sky box??
Unfortunately skyboxes are a premium feature.
@@AmalgamAsh Ohh that makes sense, Thanks might buy the patreon in the future.
Can you make the human sprites taller? Not chibi/midget?
Can you make the cube bushes errhm not cubes?
Yes and yes.
Is there a plug-in to make the characters 3D and more to scale
You can scale them using MV3D, but you must use .png files for character graphics. 3D characters can be done if they are sprites, which means you could definitely take a 3d model, take pictures of it walking, and arrange them onto a spritesheet.
But using a 3D character isn't supported at this time, unfortunately!
Does this work with SRPG plugin and higher sprite?
Pretty sure it'll work with any size sprite that MV supports. It theoretically will work with SRPG, but not without a lot of configuration, setup, and possible patching.
Any help on getting this nightmare to work would be appreciated. UPDATE: Got it to work guys, sorry I was being stupid lol.
So is there a way to get this plugin to work with RPG maker MZ? This is so awesome! Really hope its compatible.
There is an mz version friend =)
@@AmalgamAsh Thanks for the reply, already found it, and made the purchase lol. I do have a few questions about it now, like how to change the map height, and can you really import in 3D models and assets?
This is really a powerful plugin, and already I love it. Thanks so much for making this.
@@artpainting9104 I only made the video presenting the plugin ^^ Dread / Cutievirus made it!
Join the MV3D Discord and you can get lots of usage support. And yes, you can definitely import 3D models.
The maps look so good in 3D. Do you know if this is available for commercial use games?
It is.
when will the MZ version come out tho
It is out. It is a premium feature, so you'll have to either become a patron or buy the premium
Does qsprite work with this? I imagine it would probably break things since it affects the assets but I'm curious if anyone has tried it.
Si. Je met ce plugin. Il faut je refasse mon jeu ou sa charge caméra.
I dowload pack and have script on on and when i choose option isometric mode: nothing start ! I am worried
Dont worry, everything will be fine! Dod you make sure you had version 1.61 of rpgmaker mv?
@@AmalgamAsh i didnt have 1.6.1. Thank you is great!
How much Dose this Plugin cost? My Description is glitching
It is free, but the premium edition which allows 3d object import is a monthly fee through patreon or a flat $20 for perpetual.
@@AmalgamAsh thanks
Can I use it existing games
Only your own projects but yes
@@AmalgamAsh So it is not usable for commercial releases that have been put on the market. Okay well if you have some spare time, I would like to ask you some questions about game development with regards to the Rpg Maker platform?
Awesome plugin! Btw what music did you use??
For this video I just recorded while the default music included in the engine played!
This looks amazing! By any chance do you know which of these plugins would work with the 3D plugin:
*Visual Novel Busts
*Horror Effects
*Footstep Sounds
*Yanfly Core Engine
*Load Custom Fonts
*Main Menu Manager
*Message Core
(+Extended Message Pack 1, Message Backlog, Message Macros, Message Speed Option)
*Event Sprite Offset
*Grid-Free Doodads
Sorry to throw all of that at you but I'm really curious. Unless there is a list somewhere that shows what is/isn't compatible with it?
Thanks for commenting! ^o^ most should work without an issue but anything that changes map scene won't work. No grid free doodads. Everything else should be fine, though if you are planning on using grid free movement you may have an issue with the footsteps plugin .
Check out the mv3d discord in tbe description and come on by :)
@@AmalgamAsh Thanks! And awesome, I will.
Minecraft is getting advertised in the vid description, lul.
if you can have a plugin to jump as well. it will be absolutely great
The standard MV jump does work with the plugin!
@@AmalgamAsh lol i m not familiar with the new mv.
Your video got me in downloading and buying all the stuff
Oh, dang, wow...I'm glad I could help! Lol
It’s got potential but rpg in a box is cheaper and easier to use but this is impressive
The game jam upcoming will hopefully prove its utility. The frameworks between engines are what make them competitive -- but I am intrigued by what RPGiaB offers (I will argue straightaway that it fills different needs, though). Expect a video overview hopefully sometime soon!
Not all plugins are compatible though. It's still limited by a lot of things.
Yes, any plugin that tries to change the graphics or camera in the 2d map scenes won't be compatible. But, if you're here for the 3d, you end up not needing half of those anyway. Are there others that don't work with which you are familiar?
Hell,..if your gonna do all that in MV or MZ maker, why not just use Bakin Engine. It's already mostly done already and you don't really have to custom configure each and every tile correctly!?
Thats fair but this video is like three years old 🤣
how is the combat? is it also 3d?
This is incredible! How much does this plugin cost?
I think 25 USD for one time payment, or you can support Cutievirus on patreon for full access at a lower rate.
@@AmalgamAsh Thank you!
It's cool, but I all I have ever wanted was an rpg maker with snes secret of mana graphics and combat style.
I wish we had an rpg maker that could give us that kind of battle system without plugins!
Oh if they do this on console...
How are you getting trees, objects, etc to stand in 3d. I've been at this for 8 hours and have gotten absolutely nowhere.
And no one online seems to have a step by step walk through.
Yikes...is the demo project working right? Do you have the newest rpg maker amd plugin versions?
AmalgamAsh yes I do. I got it partially working. I suppose to clarify what I'm looking to know is how you got the houses/buildings to stand?
First, copy the map and tileset notetags from the demo project over into yours. Houses are kind of tricky in that you have to realize there are four layers going on....but you can get much faster help if you join the discord!
To bad that Pixel Game Maker MV don't have that.
It is a good plugin, but it is a shame to use this Patreon model.
It would be better if it was paid only for commercial use, the idea of having the best features only paying, does not excite me.
With the free version of the plugin, you are able to use it for commercial and personal projects, and use the 3D system and features shown in this video. The downside is that you cannot use the 3D model import, and sun / shadow control, but you can choose to subscribe to the Patreon OR purchase the license (and always have access to the latest updates) on itch.io. The free version is very robust and worth checking out!
so this is what yume nikki 3d was made in
Unfortunately no!
I read that it was made in eDuke32 (which is kinda crazy!)
Omfg
Would this plugin be compatible with an ABS (action-based battle system) plugin?
I always wanted to make a game where the combat wasn't locked into an SV battle system or FV battle system. I know that there are some plugins out there that allow your character to fight in real-time or Free roam battle. I seen a few old-time games do this with this type of 3D camera system.
Do you think this is possible with this plugin?
if so could you please do a tutorial on how to do it.
edit: Is there a way to make the camera in the shops to be Perspective or Isometric.
Here are some examples of the type of battle system I am talking about.

Yep, you can use whatever battle system you want! Mv3d only affects the map scene data, which combat has nothing to do with.
Full camera control is given to the player including locking perspectives per map!
Problems I am having with it
1: All tiles are flat
2: The camera makes no sense
That is it
Make sure you download and study the demo project and all of its notetags on tilesets. The plugin requires setup, look for Rikyu on youtube for great tutorials covering front to back usage.
