Current Ship Project/ Need Help

[Cody Furlong]

I need help with my current ship project, I'm trying to make a semi circle shape for the rear of the ship, but I just can't sem to quite get the curve of it right. Check out the shot below for what I've been able to get so far, and any suggestion on how to make the curve work would be apreceated.

You can try to first make the x/y/z axis (example 10 blocks).


Then +xy +x-y -xy -x+y lines (example 10 *1.4 blocks, because the diagonal is 0.7 and each 2 blocks are one in diagonal)

You can also take a calculator, paper and pin and calculate the +-y point for each x with the sinus function. You don\'t need to messure each point, just guess the points inbetween.



Use symetry modes (odd for the example in your picture) to save a lot of time (3/4). It will be even harder on larger projects without blueprint-tools like SMEdit from wiki.

Or, you can use this, http://www.plotz.co.uk/plotz.php just generate a circle twice the height of your semi circle.

Or just google \"minecraft circle\". Seriously. Probably every construction problem related to shapes did occur in the far more famous game before. :D
