Solid Cylinder

Overview

Creates a cylinder standing along the z axis. It is a basic primitive at the core of architecture and props such as towers, pillars, logs, tanks, and cans.

• Coordinate system: z-up (x right, y back, z up). Sizes are in units and are converted to pixels by pixels_per_unit during rendering.

Usage tips

• The go-to building part becomes a tower by placing solid_cone on top, or a tank or well by hollowing it out with solid_shell.
• Make a horizontal log by rotating it 90 degrees with solid_transform.
• Slightly round the top and bottom edges with solid_round for a softer silhouette after conversion to pixel art.

• solid_transform — lay it down or arrange it
• solid_shell — hollow it out into a vessel or tube

Examples

Combine Solid Cylinder + Solid Cone to make a tower, for example.
