Smooth out cylinder?
Is there a way to smooth out a cylinder? I'm just looking at the mesh filter, and it has 88 vertices, is there a way to change the geometry so it has more faces and appears smoother? Thanks
Or you can use a procedural cylinder.
I have created a module for Unity3D in C# that does exactly this and allows you to tweak the parameters. You should be able to easily convert to C or C++ as the geometry calculation is the same everywhere. Watch the video to see what it's about and download the code from GitHub. Feel free to contribute!

Upvote for excellent work and resource, many thanks =]
Do you realise that nobody can use this source because you have an "all rights reserved" copyright in the header of your source files?
@mrpmorris no I had not realised, please use that code in any way you want :)
Thanks. I found that in Unity5 the generated meshes wouldn't work for colliders. Try creating a new game object (not via your menu option) and then adding a procedural cylinder script to it. Even with the changes in the pull request I submitted on github (which update the mesh) the object will still fall through a plane when it has a Rigidbody attached.
That's just because mesh colliders don't collide with other mesh colliders, never have. If you want to use a mesh collider for a moving object, it must be marked as a convex collider.
@doukasd: it's not that simple; if you want it to be public domain, you need to remove the copyright notice stating all rights reserved and replace it with a waiver that explicitly puts the code in the public domain.
no, you can't change primirives in Unity, so you should:
make a cylinder in some 3d modelling software nd import it
or generate cylinder programmaticaly (mesh generating)
That's something you do in a 3D modeling app.
You can actually make a material from a circular img and select a shader which will make the rough edges transparent.
