Title: How do I make a 3D prop
Post by: dfalks on April 19, 2018, 11:18:05 AM

I have a sphere (http://www.superstarlights.com/CCPTreeConstruction/14inchGlobe.php)on top of my mega tree.  How do I design a 3D prop?

For now you just have to model it as a flat matrix or custom model depending on whether the number of nodes per row are equal.

Just as Gil stated, use a matrix. I used that same globe and that's what I did, plus that's what you would do in superstar, which is where that came from (Brian Bruderer, developer for superstar).

Yes just remember I said "For now...".   I expect to have a sphere model sometime this year.   It will still be represented as a matrix internally.  All our effects render in 2D.
