Question

How do I have different shapes in 3D besides the default 3D Shapes in NetLogo 3D?

Answer 1

Here's how I did it.

• I put the 3D Shape in transparent (very close to invisibility), you can't see it in Netlogo 3D but
  only see it when it's rendered.
• Look for a transparent png file to set as a 3D Shape.

 set color (list 192 234 250 1) 

raytracing:set-image "lightning.png" 

Comments

Make sure the turtle shape is square as when I put it in as a circle, the image imported became bent(curvy).

Of course, some people might like the image to be curved!

Also: note that it's possible to CHANGE a PNG image to have transparent parts using image editing software like the GIMP.

Answer 2

Also, you can create your own 3D shapes by combining the 3D shapes available.
