How to Pyramid

[milen_zge]

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Several days I think about how to draw full 3D Pyramid in ZGameEditor and modifications such as truncated pyramid.

I try with RenderNet parts with recalculating vertex or to use MeshImplicit but I think that this is wrong way.

Please give me some ideas how to draw 3D pyramid.

Hi,

Several days I think about how to draw full 3D Pyramid in ZGameEditor and modifications such as truncated pyramid.

I try with RenderNet parts with recalculating vertex or to use MeshImplicit but I think that this is wrong way.

Neither RenderNet nor MeshImplicit are ideal for geometric shapes such as a pyramid. Attached is a example containing 3 procedural meshes.

- SloppyMesh: This is a pyramid generated from a Box of which the top points are moved together. It's the easiest method, but you end up with 4 "unused" triangles.
- PyramidMesh: This is a pyramid generated from a Plane + 4 Triangles. Since ZGE doesn't have a triangle component, it uses a imported triangle.
- FrustumMesh: This is a truncated pyramid created from a Box. Change the P variable to adjust at what height the pyramid is truncated.

Hopefully this helps

Thank you, very much!

It was simple and with short code!
I will continue to try different techniques, tanks for fast help.
