Feature request: "stretch" spheres

[winderine]

Please add a second radius to spheres to allow creating ellipses in one shape.

An advanced form of this request might allow for the creation of egg-like shapes; although for that I'm not sure if it might be easier to make something like cylinders with different diameters at the top and bottom that have rounded-off caps of different depths.

This mod is super useful, though, thanks!

Hi, I'm glad that you've been enjoying the mod! I'll think about this feature when I have some free time as right now I almost don't have any.

I've been working/thinking about a layer system that lets you make complex shapes using other shapes to add/cut from others and I think you probably could archive a shape like that with these tools. That is, if I could even manage to somehow implement them.

So I'll do it this way, if the ellipsis will be easy enough to implement - I'll add it. Keep in mind that I still haven't ported the mod to 1.20.5 and Mojang likes to change the rendering code every update nowadays so I can't even guarantee it.

No worries! These are just suggestions and I'm glad you took the time to read them. I don't think simply adding a sphere to a cylinder will create quite the shape I'm looking for, although perhaps subtracting a pair of rotated arches might, so I do hope you can integrate deformations. There's obviously no rush; and yeah I would probably wait a few updates for the next port because it seems like a lot of things about the game are in flux.
