In-game 3D printing
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help with an idea (or some scripts) on how to visualise the process of the 3d printing (say, melt extrusion) within the game. Ideally to be able to extrude the new shape using the controls, or, alternatively, just gradually revealing the pre-made object with time. I would imagine it might be some sort of a replication of small boxes along the trajectory of the tip, but it doesn't sound like the optimal solution. If the object is already made, then maybe some mask could be gradually applied to make it partially visible.Maybe also some sort of a gel/soft body physics could be applied. But again I am not sure how that should be done in practice. Any thoughts would be very helpful.
Thank you!
