WIP Awesome New Blocks/Block shapes Production Thread!
- Thread starter A'nW
- Start date
Very impressive work 
but I have a question Anton ......
In the picture above if a train is coming from left to right will it be able to cross the tracks
It looks like the answer would be yes because of the little black parts connecting to brown rails but just had to ask to be sure

Awesome stuff Anton!
Thanks =)Very impressive work
Yes, you're right. But this is just a texture which I've created for the demonstrate new block family. You can draw yourself the "more thought-out texture" =))I have a question Anton ......

P.S. A'nW Thanks for the shape! =)
Just merged in the pending pull requests - I included the separate horizontal offset plane first then the one Adeon had in his commit on top just so both PRs are officially in
A'nW - did the actual ivy vine go missing somewhere? Was looking for it in-game and in source and couldn't find it
We need the darker straight rail track adjusted a bit so they look the same, weird to have dark one direction and bright in another

I described this already in issue #449, the different lighting variations do also appear on other blocks (shapes), like the halfblocks.
This should be fixed in develop now - was caused by the ambient occlusion code in the chunk generator and floating point errors from rotation. The fact those half-blocks are being rotated at all is another bug though - those shapes should be marked as having symmetric collision, which would mean that only one block would be generated and used rather than 4.
Hey guys...
Cervator Hehe, no actually. I just never committed the actual vine block. I'm not sure why though... I'll get that ready to go this weekend.
Immortius Hmmm, you are right. The horizontalOffsetPlane did have a couple of normals that were not pointing strait up. That is peculiar. I know that I had checked that... Oh well, it is fixed and will be committed soon.
Also, about the "Is rotation symetrical", I didn't realize that could be such a optimizing setting. I'll adjust the appropriate block shapes.
On a very similar note though... the "cube" shape that is used for rendering the default cubescape, etc, doesn't have symmetric collisions on...
Speaking of the default cube shape...
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Wha...?! What it is it?
It's so... so roundy... and... and... the fps is so low.
Ok, anyway, couldn't help but do that.

That is true, and is laziness on my part - if a shape doesn't define any collision it uses the default cube collision and is marked as having symmetric collision.On a very similar note though... the "cube" shape that is used for rendering the default cubescape
Ok, fixed up a few block shapes and committed them.
Cervator I forgot about the vines again I just realized. Argh. Anyway, I'll get it.
Immortius Ah, thank you for that little explanation!
Adeon Yes, thanks for working on that! (And making my fence block look so good. )
On another note, I have posted the first video tutorial on making block shapes. It is super basic, but hey, it's a start. Hopefully I can do some more interesting ones eventually. I'm posting it here just to see what people think. Most of you guys are probably not going to get much out of it. I'm pretty new to youtube, so if you have suggestions on tags, description additions, etc, feel free to comment.
