Rounded Chiseled Shapes

[Creegle]

I just want to know if it would be possible to get some rounded chisel shapes like this.

Stage 1 transformation:

Stage 2 transformation:

Stage 3 transformation:

Stage 4 transformation:

What wizardry is this. .
Lol. This would be a nice addition.

you read my mind, totally agree with you, great idea)
but there is not all types of shapes (copper, silver, gold, titanium), i will try to add more later

Oh yeah, totally agreed, great idea!

Can this actually even be done with how Voxel tech works?

from some game but if voxel + round corners hmmm(

While I’d love for chiseling like this, with the game engine, it’s not that simple. Each chisel combination is actually an entirely different block entity, and what we have currently took the devs a very long time to create and implement.

@iGoofy

Okay, I’ll bite… Devil’s advocate tho. Really, says what intel? So specifically rendering and orienting the chiseled block manifestations within the parameters of the code took the brunt of the development time and effort? Is this a generalization and assumption based on the release timeline, or is this fact that the chiseled block implementation took loads of resources and effort. Because chiseling changed quite drastically to 1.0 and the rollout happened rapidly. Is it actually that difficult?

I need to find the post where it was stated, I’ll edit this post when I find it. One of the dev’s had mentioned it before back in Early Access when we had asked about it though.

Edit:
Found this here thanks to you @Creegle :

That is 99.99% not going to happen, at least not for 1.0. It would require a momentous amount of work to have steeper/shallow slope shapes and be a performance hit on the way the physics in the game works too. Being able to “mix” chisel types like one corner being “bevelled off” and one corner “cubed off” would also absolutely explode the amount of shapes that would be possible, and that someone (me likely) would have to go and define and make work. there are already now with square/bevel/slope chiselling 660’ish shapes, being able to mix the chiselling would make it millions.

Seems I may have misunderstood what I read, as it has been a while. Either that or I didn’t find the post I was looking for. This post above is talking about mixing different chisel types.

I remember that conversation as I think I started it. But that was in regards to a massive overhaul as to how chiseling works.

Mouse wheel chisel tier options

What!? Yea it’s hard to describe on a subject line. So how about, depending on what chisels you have equipped and your current corresponding chisel skills, when you click to chisel a block, instead of instant breakage, you see the block as an opaque example of the chisel outcome and then as you roll your mouse wheel you see it cycle the block animation through all your available chisel cuts, rotations and options. This would prevent ever having to break and rechisel a block again.

@iGoofy I appreciate you doing that homework. I usually don’t press the issue on stuff but I really believe this suggestion is worth an honest conversation. Imagine how much more complete some builds would look with rounded edges.

[iGoofy]

Oh don’t get me wrong, I want it too. I’m just concerned about us asking too much of the devs to where they can no longer deliver on things that probably should receive a higher priority,
