Question by WilliamFerdinand · Jan 09, 2017 at 11:37 AM · physicsscript.graphics

How to procedurally make a crisp object look smooth and curved.

Hello, I am wondering how I can import a regular 2d object like a hexagon and during runtime smooth out its edges to look more globular (for a building game). I looked at procedural scripting and the anatomy of a mesh and how I can calculate normals, however how can this help me to smooth out the edges of a rather crisp object. Thank you for your time.

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. How are normals relevant to a 2d Hexagon? How can a 2D object be made "more globular"? Perhaps an image or two explaining what you want to achieve would help :)

Further to Cherno's question, are you trying to tween back and forth between a circle and a hexagon?

The first image is the straight hexagon, the next image is what I am trying to make out of the hexagon. I know there would have to be an increased number of vertices during runtime, however how would I be able to do that and make the vertices curve.
