All of the comments in this thread are spot-on. As Meta clearly have a team working with some kind of software for mesh creation which complies to a graphics budget, I'd welcome a desktop tool for users to do the same. If there was a built in 'capacity' or similar method for ensuring that user created objects were compliant and sharable, then I'd imagine that this tool would not only be popular, it would also help to ratchet up the diversity of Meta's own Metaverse ambitions.

We learned that a half circle uses more Capacity than a circle! So it's doing a 50% division of that circle in code. Just please let us change that %, it will be so useful!

(also, on the half ring: the center point should be the center of a whole ring, not the center of that cut ring. and we'd wish to change the rotation sweep. 25% ring would be ultra useful for corners! as well as the inner radius.)

(and the cone, take a % away at the tip? to make a great "tapering cylinder!")

Here is a simple yet amazing 3d app, every primitive shape has a few more adjustable parameters, but so so much can be done with that.

a tool that can cut shapes , bend shapes would be nice basically more shape manipulation please

This needs to be the first thing besides an increase in object capacity that needs to be included in a hopefully very soon update

Completely agree. This is a sorely missed tool for 3d object creation.

Love this! :D

Yes please!

(moving the "vertices", or corner points of a shape)

Also, it'd be great to have more primitives to start from! Including the Platonic Solids (aka rpg dice shapes!)

Prism / Star / Jewel with X number of sides 3 - 32
Star has inner diameter %

Rounded Cylinder and box % of roundness

More shape options. For example, 1/4 sphere, 1/8 sphere, 1/4 cylinder, 1/2 cone, 1/4 cone, etc.

Some details would be helpful.

I don't know if all the objects in the world are going to be created from scratch. or in the future there will be a catalog of better elaborated objects. What I do know is that the tools should have more capabilities like alignment and you can also deform the shapes at different points.

The ability to create shapes out of more than one primitive. Operations would include:

* Subtract - This is what everyone really wants. We could cut windows out of walls, carve a sphere out of a half-sphere to make a bowl, you name it.

* Intersection - You could make a UFO shape out of the intersection of two spheres!

* Add - This would just be like having multiple objects together that have the same color, except that you'd avoid having flashing effects where they intersect at obtuse angles.

The existing primitives could be a lot more useful if you could change some of their properties:

* For the torus tool, an option to set the thickness.
* For the tube tool, an option to set the thickness of the wall, and another option to set how far around the circle the wall sweeps. Essentially, at 180°, you'd have the half-tube.
* For the triangular prism, an option to pick a triangle whose bounding box places two of the triangle at the corners and the other point in the middle of the opposite side (instead of the current one which has points at 3 of the 4 corners of the bounding box).
* For the pyramid, an option to choose between 3 and 8 sides (instead of just 4).
* For the sphere, an option to choose how much of the sphere is cut. At 50%, you'd get the half-sphere.
* A new tool similar to the sphere that would be hollowed out. You'd have an option for the wall thickness and another for how much of the sphere is cut.

This might make it easier to deal with not being able to cut objects out from other objects until that becomes possible.
