A tool to generate non-triangulated circular brush shapes for the Half-Life and Quake map format. It can also be exported as OBJ file. Shapes are at the moment: Cylinder, Arch, Torus, hollow Torus and Sphere. It works by using a command console or simple text-based template files (*.pst).
Plan Shape is my first real C++ creation. It serves as a generator for 3-dimensional shapes like an arch, a torus or a sphere. To do so, it uses circles, which are based on a specific mapping method. This will lead to the amazing fact, that all faces of those circular shapes are planar. PlanShape can export these generated shapes as MAP or OBJ files.
Plan-Shape is NOT a professional tool, there is NO GUI and it wasn't testet on any other system than mine yet! I basically learned C++ by creating this tool. You can use it via the command console or you drag and drop template files onto the EXE. Both will produce the same results. Template files are a faster way, whereas using the console might be easier (or even more confusing, depends).
For the latest version and more details and informations about the tool, please take a look at the official page on my new WP-blog or the documentation.
Congratulations!
How long did you take to develop it?
Thanks!
I worked on it for 8 months, not always actively and sometimes it took me one week or longer to overcome a problem ;)
Interesting! Gonna try this asap! Well done ;) .
Thanks Thanos! Good luck and have fun. Tell me what your impressions are. I think it is not necessarily very user friendly until you know what the commands are doing.
Will send ya a PM as soon as I test it ;)
looks very useseful
might help alot
thanks!
ooh i need to check this out
is there 32 bit version please?
I have updated the zip. The 32 bit version is now included!
