How do you use 3D graphics in Android Studio?

I am wondering how app developers create games with 3D animations and graphics. Does anyone know how those games are made, and can it be done with android studio?

Solution

  • Yes, it can be done with Android Studio.

    If you wanted to hand-code it, you would just create a GLSurfaceView, and draw objects into it. Here's a basic tutorial: Displaying Graphics with OpenGL ES

    But, you would never hand-code it in real life. To make even a simple 3D game, you would want to use a game engine like Unity3D or jPCT-AE.

    Any decent 3D engine will have tools for porting to Android. And many of them have communities that can offer support and troubleshooting.
