Hi, I managed to patch into the mesh & vertexes but a detached singular object based solution is more of what i am looking for. (created some interesting spheres with color hsv & rgb colour cycling effects in development).
I have managed to generate planes from the vertexes of any given primitive, which brings me to my issue. So imagine we have a sphere made up of planes, each of these planes is in perfect position to simulate a sphere generated from the primitive sphere class. I wish to be able to animate each of these planes to expand outward from the sphere's centre point. Which would result in gaps being developed between each of the planes that make up the sphere. Now my 3D maths is not too good, but would this be done with a lot of trig calculations and applied to each plane? or is there a simpler method of doing this?
