Question/Suggestion that can expand creative possiblities

Ok, here me out:

1.) Anime Studio Pro already has basic 3d design features (Extrude, Lathe, etc...).

2.) You can move entire layers in 3d space in Anime Studio Pro allowing you to create 3d designs with 2d layers (2.5D).

So I don't know if somebody already tried this or not (ex. writing a script), but is it possible to get individual points to move in z-axis? Example, you create a flat box, add a point on one line, then adjust the point closer or farther than you using the translate point tool (z-axis). Right now, you can only use the translate point tool to move it in x & y axis.

I'm asking because I know how to create geometric 3d designs in anime studio pro like buildings, streets, etc... but allowing the movement of a single point in z space would allow me to create a curve slope in rotation. I'm pretty sure a lot of y'all would love to do that too

.

Any Solutions? Possible solutions? Maybe a future feature?

have a look at the thickness setting in the shape and styles palette you will find that might do the trick, or else just built some obj s in 3d and import them

Sorry it took time to reply. I didn't get a notification of a reply for some reason. Anyway, I just want to create curve based 2.5d designs that move in z space. I made a animation in which I moved layers in 3d space to create a scene. The thing is you can only create the individual shapes and modify in the x,y axis.

The only thing needed is the ability to move some points of a shape in the z-axis. That then would allow you to rotate in 3d space and put the shapes together to form a curve based 2.5 design. O yea, adding 3d software for that one task would be a little extra imo lol.
