[Q] 3D objects

Does the GAMA client support running 3D agents?

@mahmoodhussam may i ask you what do you mean more precisely by 3D agents and which Gama client do you refer to?

Speaking about the JS client with mapbox currentlty agent are place in a 3D environment having x,y and z coordinates and they are so far represented by a simple 2D shape.

However it is possible to implement a 3D visualization though mapbox using this kind of approach:
https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/3d-extrusion-floorplan/
https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/add-3d-model/

@mahmoodhussam maybe that something you would be interested in exploring?

@hqnghi88 what about the reactjsclient? I think the 3D is handle better?

Hi,
In theory, gama 's clientS support the 3D as GAMA compose the x y z information in agents, but it depends on which client side technology you willing to use, pure Javascript has the plugin as Arnaud suggestion, Reactjs also have it ported https://www.npmjs.com/package/threebox-plugin (unfortunatle it is a bit outdate and no more maintained). I have no idea on python side.
Cheers.

Hello,
As for the python client, it really is just a general library that you can use to interact with the gama-server api inside your python program. There's no display and it will be up to you to build it, but theoretically you can do whatever you want with it.

I have another question Can I render IFC files in the ReactJS client project
I tried to launch it in the React but I received an empty white screen in the Simulation

I used this project https://groups.google.com/g/gama-platform/c/XlBlvEH0-_E/m/K1xLWSAIAgAJ
it rendered on GAMA with the IFC plugin but I am not sure if I can render it in ReactJS
Thanks
