Real Time Slicing Visualizer Demo

For my upcoming game, I wanted to support the ability to slice ingredients (or objects for now) to allow for more customization for the food you make. So I wrote a simple knife tool for slicing parts with the recently released GeometryService API.

But I figured that it may look better if I added some sort of visualizer instead of making the tool automatically cut parts. Instead, the new idea is that you would be able to draw a straight line on your screen, which would then cut the object depending on the line.

So after a lot of trial and error, I present my slicing visualizer demo. This took an hour or two to fully understand, and then code afterwards.

Feedback appreciated!

I also wanna confirm a few things seen:

  • The line drawn and the arrows are all gui objects, not billboard or surface guis.
  • Yes it magically also works in first person, despite your mouse being locked to the center of the screen.

This feature looks great! Nice job on it! How long did it take to make? It’s extremely cool!

I stated this on the post :slight_smile:
But overall it took about 1-2 hours!
