About the 3D shapes

[Notorious TheRageMC 1.9k]

I don't know why users complain about 3D Shapes and they comment "Not too minecrafty". So what?

What's the purpose why David add these in 1.0.0? Aren't you happy about his work? What if someone use shapes in their animation like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deal with it. Just don't complain it.

Rage im not complaining im just saying i personally dont like using the other shapes...

Also I do like how you use the 3D shapes to your advantage.

I think the purpose for shapes is for little details, but all the videoes you used was for mostly pacman which is probably almost impossible to do blocky.I don't think anyone said it should be removed ,they were saying they think it doesnt look good like that

Shapes are in for a reason. They are to fill in gaps missing that some animations require. They allow for more creative freedom, and just because people don't use them often doesn't mean they're worse because of that.

The main reason I added them is because they could be used as particles, and GM already had built-in functions for the 3D shapes (although a bit bugged, unsurprisingly), so implementing them was rather easy.

I'm not a big fan of circles because, they don't fit in the world of minecraft, this is a pixelated block game, so circles wouldn't make sense, circles are only seen in mods, and every other minecraft animators never use circles, only for purposes like.. explosions or Particles, or water effects, something like that,

people have their opinions, and i'm not saying you should not make circles, it's just not my cup of tea.

Yup. It only takes one line of code to show the shape.

Gosh, I never actually thought about that. If people had used them more often, we could have some pretty awesome looking explosions!

I used them to make microphones in the forever unreleased Depeche Mine wallpaper.

I like the idea of shapes,

In fact David should add more, like semi circles and prisms!

Well abdullah. You can make Semi-Circle by make Half Image and to the Prism,

Just 4 Surface and a Cube. That's it.

Things like that would never be added in minecraft, BUT, command blocks can do things like that easily, so iwould rather go with blocky stuff,as i said, this is a block game Edited November 28, 2014 by DurRubinRux
