I'm looking for a particular image... (circular designs)
« on: December 13, 2010, 03:26:27 am »

Hello everyone.
As a boredom reliever, I want to build a clear glass biodome. Because why not.
Now, I seem to vaguely remember seeing an image posted somewhereabouts that showed
grid-form circles, from tiny radii up to Armok-knows how big.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Many thanks, from my fatigue-riddled self...

I believe you're looking for the sphere planning tool. The download link I had doesn't work anymore, but I do have the file saved to my HD.
If you want, you can PM me and I'll e-mail it to you.

This voxel sphere generator should do the job for you just fine. Used it with Minecraft a couple of times with great success. :D

I am going to copy the chicken entry and rename everything chocobo and make it 100x the size of a normal chicken and make it rideable.  Too bad our dwarves probably wont ride them. >_>

Another minecraft sphere thing... this one is pixel images showing layers for spheres up to 200 across.

Each layer has a black dot where you'll need a wall. Zoom in with paint/photoshop or similar to see better.

Wonderful, these are all perfect.
Many thanks!


Now to make a section of sphere 15z tall but big enough for a proper dome...

Well if you just want a hemisphere start from the 16th image of the 30-diameter image and work to the end.
