Dome shape template/tool

General
1

Hi all, part of my current build will eventually require a section of roof to be in the shape of a dome and Im just wondering if any of you guys know of a dome generation tool which suits boundless chiselling? I used to use a circle/dome generator to build similar things in minecraft but would not be suitable for what we have in boundless. Thanks

Not a whole lot of easy to use tools out there… but I like http://oranj.io/blog/VoxelSphereGenerator and https://www.plotz.co.uk/

Yep theyre kinda like what I used in MC, really hoping to find some sort of template in the form of how the big meteors look, but failing that I’ll go old school with something like those and try to wing it from there, thanks

I have not seen any tools that would account for the slope chisel. Obviously you can use the mentioned vowel dome tools and the square chisels to make it a little less boxy.

I found this a while back.


I’m sure that it could be adapted to be used for boundless with a little math and design.

Thanks :slight_smile:
I use the old Minecraft sphere generator, it’s a great tool! Though it doesn’t support chiselling… you could use the generator and then free hand the chiselling? Adding blocks where needed and replicating on each section maybe

Good luck, boundless can never have too many domes!

Thanks everyone, looks like it’s the old school dome generators and some trial and error…
