Yay, a sphere.

Yay, I made a sphere using spherical coordinates. 😁

It's a bit wonky, but hey. still a work in progress as you may be able to tell from the name. 🙂

Dammit, I guess it didn't carry over to the preview. 😠

shure is wonky (wonky i think thats my new special word)
but if you can do this you think you can wrap this round a ball with a dm

I may be able to do some scopes, but DM I cannot do. You'd think that I could, but I have a mental block in there somewhere. 😔


edit:

Actually, I thought about it a bit. I dont think it possible to do real 3D with a DM. The best we can do is fake it withalpha blending on a distorted 2D surface. I don't you can actually have one point pass behind/infront of another.

Here, take a look. Turn off blend in the DM to see what I mean about faking it.

well more along these lines but with music response and i wanted my ssc on the spher to but this looks cool all the same

Jaheckesafar: actually my 3D DM's (e.g. Zero-G Maze) are pretty 'real' 3D. The DM performs raytracing for each point on the grid. The geometry is only limited by equations that you can solve easily. E.g. a torus would be very hard because you have to solve a quartic (4th order) equation.
