Chisel & Advanced Painting

Quote from AshWardle

CHISEL:

Minecraft has a mod called "Chisel and Bits" would be so cool to be able to chisel out chunks from building blocks in Rising World!

Just imagine what players can create from blocks without having to resize all the time!

Those who love wood whittling would definitely love carving a masterpiece from wood blocks in-game!

Also there could be a new option with the paint brush that would allow players to paint as they move the cursor with the paintbrush selected within the player's hot-bar. This would be handy for painting carvings. Some may have motion sickness so there could also be an option to freeze the player camera in place and allow players to paint just by moving the cursor. Instead of having to sway the camera to paint.

The whole chisel thing aka subtractive building has been discussed several times before.

Long story short, while it's technically possible it could quickly create a situation where a single block ends up being the equivalent of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. That could tank performance and even create situations where worlds would be unplayable.

When building with single blocks there's a method called back face culling for the engine to ignore the sides of blocks that are connected together. So you might have something build from 100 blocks, but performance wise it's only 20-30.

The best way for this is to use maybe a press or chisel to have a pre-defined patten(s) that maybe Red can include instead of it being an individual player patten and having that problem that CursedXistence mentioned??? Although I guess this is more a face texture then creating a shape

I think a chiseling feature will be redundant since we have already all the tools to work with "microscopic" small building blocks.
