Ice sculpture contest [editedx2]

[davidz40]

can I use one piece that consists of few polygons fixated together?

no. There is no need to.

So hlollow shapes or shapes with dents are impossible to do in this contest? I can't imagine anything non-hollow that's more sophisticated than circle/egg/box/square etc.

[thebeech]

well we could use multiple layers, all of different collision groups, and then just set what way to cut them out

[RicH]

Thanks for the idea thebeech!

[thebeech]

so far I have managed to make a machine that can cut a circle that's it, it would'nt be to hard to cut anything that has outwards curves but things that curve it would be impossible until you can have 2 lasers meeting and cutting out that section:)

don't glue the block to the background. Cut out a dent and then use a killer to "hollow" it. you can use 0 gravity and high friction to help. I did it, so it works

izaque: I suggest you try your own idea before insisting it's possible.

Dude, the circle is probably the easiest one to make -.-

yes i know RicH but its all's ive come up with so far, just a test but it will be hard to cut out the inside of an objcect wont it ?? well a curve that goes in then comes out again if its just a solid block ?

[izacque]

I corrected the post that immibis kindly pointed out was in error. I phundamentally created the very thing you're speaking of. So just imagine what you can do with thyme.

[Nehh]

I've had a thought - if you start with a block in one piece, and cut it up into several pieces?
The starting block would still be in one piece.

way to bump a dead topic

It is implausable for any one to make anything more than a shape from a triangle to a circle, it just doesn't happen, no indenting is plausible, and you can't make a block thats made of more than one piece, so, I suggest that you create a block, made of 100 or more tiny blocks, and make us cut out the sculpture from that. You would defraud cheaters too.
