3D behaviors

The Director 8.5 Behavior Library includes new 3D-specific behaviors. For more information on these behaviors, see Director 8.5 tutorial overview.

3D behaviors are divided into four types:

Local behaviors are actions that accept triggers only from the sprite they're attached to.

Public behaviors are actions that accept triggers from any sprite.

Triggers are behaviors that send signals to a local or public behavior to cause the behavior to execute.

For example, attaching the Create Box action and Mouse Left trigger behaviors to a sprite will cause a box to be created in the 3D world each time the sprite is clicked with the left mouse button.

Independent behaviors are behaviors that perform their actions without a trigger.

The Toon behavior, for example, changes a model's rendering style to the toon style.
