🦋 build_sphere(3) 🦋

okay so bestie, this is the Arcan Lua API manual page for build_sphere(3) — yes, the 3d section one — and it's giving “make me a sphere or a hemisphere” energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

build_sphere - Generate a 3D sphere or hemisphere model

🛠️ SYNOPSIS 🛠️

vid
build_sphere( float:radius, uint:div_long, uint:div_lat )
build_sphere( float:radius, uint:div_long, uint:div_lat, uint:nmaps=1 )
build_sphere( float:radius, uint:div_long, uint:div_lat, uint:nmaps=1,
bool:hemi=false )

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay so this one builds a mesh and binds to a new finalised 3d model. iconic, honestly. the typical use is for debug geometry and skydomes — literally what it's for. 💖

the mesh values will range from +radius..radius along the longitude and latitude, or from +radius..0 along the longitude if the hemi argument is set to true. no cap, that's the range. ✨
