New addon : Cosmological grid layer

[Cham]

The cube is an alternate way, with a subtle color (add a material in the header, just below the first two materials) :

Code: Select all

material
   emissive 0.45 0 0  # Weak red
   diffuse  0.45 0 0
   opacity 0.3
end_material


Add this code at the end of the file :

Code: Select all

After testing the cube I think I still prefer my above mod for two reasons: less vertices for same info (it's easy enough to mentally rebuild the total cube) and I still prefer yellow, related to the original yellow line and scale.

[Cham]

Yes, I'm not satisfied by the red color either, in this case.

However, I still think there are too much lines with the cube or the other way. I prefer a flat grid. Of course, anyone is free to edit the model and add the cube or the other configuration. It's really easy to do.

[Liar]

Has anyone made a sphere/is there an easy way to do this?

I think this would be the best solution of all.
