Now that would be nice, depending on how that corner could be created. Homes, stores etc would look much softer and have a better flow with rounded corners.

If that is actually going to be an available prim then I will need to go find a fresh pair of shorts now!
I've been restricted in my building ideas because of not being able to make a square/rectangle with rounded edges. Makes me wanna brave the lag and crashes to build again! _____________________

I for one welcome our new cube overloa... oh. Um, nevermind.
Rounded cubes would be the best thing ever. Does this have any relation to the similarly named www.cuteoverload.com ? |

I watched our builder do that once. He put a square in the middle of two circles. Don't remember all of the details, but it seemed to work for him. This is probably not the way the Lindens did though. Would be nice if it was a new single prim they are giving to us. Our builder would love that one, less work for him

Looks like a skybox.
I took a look at the exif info in the big image, it's dated yesterday. Funny that it should show up on the forums a day after it's updated. That said, qdot is one of the cool Lindens. Who knows what they are planning. _____________________

The perspective looks odd.
How would you texture such a thing? You can't really have faces because of the curved edges. That is unless each curved edge and corner is treated as seperate face. Or maybe treat it as a single surface, like a sphere?. If so, it would still be difficult trying to determine how to map a texture onto such a shape using SL's texture editing panel. This may explain why it's untextured. I think we need to torture Peekay for information on his sources. |

Eh, rounded corners are not really anything fancy. It's relatively easy to compute a simple spherical section mesh and graft it onto the corners of a cube. what is tougher is properly tesselating the faces afterwards, since you now can't use simple 2-triangle face tesselation (which LL doesn't really do anyway, due to needs for lighting).
In fact, I remember seeing an algorithm somewhere which smoothly interpolated a cube to a sphere using a similar method. |

I hope it is what we speculate it is. I think someone may have requested this about 5 million years ago in beta.
