2023.1.1344.2 Ellipse Generator



Overview

Creates an ellipse of given radii and rotation on an game object. With the ability to only create part of that ellipse


Where to find

The feature can be found under Utility > Mesh Tools > Create Shape.


Feature Layout

Will only describe Ellipse window.

Shape Type

Type of shape given to game objects.

  • Ellipse: Creates a ellipse of given radii for object.

  • Cube: Creates cube.

  • Cylinder: Creates cylinder.

Center

The center of the created ellipse in world space.

Local Up Direction

The direction the local up is in (in this direction the y radius will be drawn).

Tessellation

Amount the ellipse is tessellated.

Radii

The radii of the ellipse in units.

Create Shape

Button to press to add shape to selected game objects


How to use

Window:

  1. Select game objects want to given ellipse.

  2. Indicate where center of ellipse needs to be.

  3. Set local up direction to rotated the ellipse to right orientation.

  4. Set local radii of the ellipse.

  5. Set amount of tessellation.

  6. Press Create Shape. Now the selected objects with Mesh Filter will have their meshes replaced with ellipse and rest will have a Mesh Filter added and puts the ellipse into that.

Ellipse mesh is stored in Resources/Colliders folder

There is no renderer component by default
