Question by tanuj0092 · Oct 09, 2013 at 06:42 AM · meshcolliderswireframe

how can i build a spherical wireframe grid in unity?

Actually I am able to develop a wireframe. However, all points are static in this. I want to make it dynamic such that user can input any number of points and would be able to develop spherical wireframe according to that. All meshes are created using code. alt text

When you tell the number of points, it's the subdivision of the sphere?

When I tell the number of points, it uniformly distributes over the sphere.

Drawing a wireframe mesh is a little tricky, but this question has been answered many times before so finding a solution that works for you shouldn't be too hard.

  1. You start with a random set of vertices on the sphere.

  2. Then you iteratively push them apart, but keep them on the sphere.

  3. When the iterations are having too little effect, you stop.

  4. These vertices you then link into triangles using Delaunay triangulation. (Just replace circles on a plane with spheres on a sphere.)
