Cloth/Banners

I remember something @jesshyland said when talking about glass;

@jesshyland

Doors are made of meshes rather than simply voxel blocks, so they don’t have the same restrictions as normal blocks. We use some fancy code magic to determine which parts of the door mesh to use where, depending on how you’ve placed the pieces.

Using meshes instead of voxels is one possible solution for glass as it sidesteps the alpha transparency issue(meshes can have semi-transparent textures as you may have seen on some items), but they’re not as flexible as voxel blocks and we don’t want people to be building whole structures out of meshes as that could lead to problems.

Meaning that instead of chiselable, voxel based banners, we’ll likely get meshes, which have already been alluded to by @Minyi;

Art: Decorative Props concept art! (Massive post!) 4/13 UPDATED

Hello all! This past two weeks I’d been working on the concepts for decorations. Started out first with more bespoke meshes, but we’re looking to adapt these to be more sandbox like. For example, instead of creating one 4m high lamppost mesh, we’re looking to split up the parts that make a lamppost into different categories (base, pole, lantern), with the freedom to use each piece for other things too.

I really like the look of the stuff @Minyi is doing. Those banners would suit my needs perfectly - and I assume meshes would be far less work than coding chiselable banners.
