Tommygun Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Very useful.Will you branch out into other shapes too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um3k Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Not quite sure what you mean by other shapes. Triangular panels? Hexagonal? That's conceivable. I'll look into it in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazurkri Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 What about spherical, Pentagonal? I'd love to have my ship encased in a giant sphere so I could smash into stuff without a care in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um3k Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Spherical is a little less conceivable (can't have concave collision meshes), but I could do an assortment of polygons. Geodesic domes, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygun Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yes and also columns in the the shapes of Hexagons, octagons, half rounds, one quarter rounds, etc.I was thinking of using them to make buildings for moon base construction.

um3k Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'll set my engineers to the task of developing transparent [probably not painted cardboard] for windows while I'm at it. R&D might take a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
