Algodoo

Happy Birthday!

Here is a nice Algodoo feature that you may not know about. Try this: First select either the Move Tool or the Grab Tool. Then right click on the Glados robot, which will select it. Then scroll down and hover on "Appearance". At the bottom of the Appearance panel you will see a blue banner with the text "Generate geometry from texture". Click on that blue banner and watch what happens! Try the same thing on the birthday cake and you will see that it does not look so good. That's because it does not work the same with every image. I think you will like it!

If you don't like how the geometry turned out (maybe it's too rough or ugly), you can reverse the transformation with Ctrl-Z.

happy birthday!

mlgdash -- At the top of the page you will see a tab labeled "Learn it". Click on that tab and you will learn the basics!

Happy birthday!

I knew about it and I used it in more convenient ways that you think
Also, it make sharp edges, so even after using it, I use brush to smooth edges (or algodoo smoothing polygon program) manually to get best results!
