Updated sphere tool request

by Edward · in Constructor · 08/21/2008 (10:36 am) · 2 replies

I have noticed a high number of errors relating to the sphere. I think the sphere shape tool needs to be revisited, and include a automatic hollow feature, as well as a hemisphere feature. as i have noticed trying to split a sphere at time creates artifacts. particularly if its interesected. In addition currently when hollowing a sphere it spirals rather then splitting at the faces, as one would naturally think should accur. thoughts? is this one worth revisiting.

    I'll look into this, but it's not as easy as it sounds.

    Nod, i understand that, simply becuase of the math involved with a sphere, but i am in good hands if your on the case. Its a issue that i am sure, i am not the only one cursing it when using the old create sphere tool.
