Author Topic: Is it possible to make a perfect vertical circle?  (Read 5673 times)

I have been trying to create a perfect vertical circle. I plan the circle out by creating a circle in a paint program and then I count the pixels on the edges so I can translate that into bricks later. I build the circle by overlapping bricks, so if I need a brick that is 2 stubs long I use a 3 long brick. My flat circle came out fine but my vertical circle comes out egg shaped. Am I missing something here or is it impossible.

The circle in this case is 128x128px, but the problem happens with other sizes.

X/Y distances do not match Z distances.

You should know this.

Bricks arent square, so of course itll end up taller...

I know somebody made a script to build something like a Torus... That's made of vertical circles, and although it took forever because it was so huge, was pretty awesome. Don't know why he didn't want to save something that took like an hour or two to build...

I doubt using I2B would help this. but its just a suggestion.

A 4x Cube block is 4x4x10, not 4x4x12 as it would be if blocks were perfect cubes. For a 64x64 circle you would need to follow the dimensions of the 64x cube for example, thus being 64 studs wide, 1 stud thick and 160 1x1f bricks high.

I had huge circles made by an art script from Flaw on my server once :o

No... the person who did it was grumpier than Zack...

A 1x1 brick is: 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.6
A 1x1 plate is: 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.2
