3D, 2D Game performance.

Performance & Profiling
1

Hi.

I now want to make 3d game. Will work on web-browser.

So, performance is big issue.

Specially, I think my game show many skills simultaneously.

So, someone advise that it is more good to show skill as 2D.

Then, the problem is, how much can I express good skill effect(mainly magic) with 2D image.

If user mouse drag and see the skills, they will know it is 2D.

Important thing is, what is main skill of express naturally with 2D image like real 3D skills.

And what is the guideline with performance issue and 3D expressed skill issue’s balance point?

Particle systems are a good example of an effect that works well in 2D. They are often used for magic effects and fire.
