I'm trying to make asteroids look more realistic. Currently, all mine are round spheres and look like meatballs! Any suggestions?

Time to find a modeller and make some lumpy meshes that you can texture. They'll also look cool when you tumble them as they move.

@ zircher. actually they already do "tumble". just rotating the object(s) during the loop. picture a meatball rolling of your plate! hmmm, that gave me an idea for a retro game. remember kaboom! on the Atari 2600? instead of catching bombs in a bucket, catch meatballs with your mouth...thanks for the input on the lumpy meshes....

@ NightGiant. Yeah kaboom was great as were most of activision's games were at the time. maybe i'll pursue the "meatball" game. any modelers out there want to model me a guy's head (and gal)? imagine a 2d pacman character going up. Maybe have it to where it the player eats meatballs too many meatballs without getting randomly dropped antacid pills, he would barf. (too gross?) I could have soda cans drop randomly to kill the player's "thirst". I could put pizza parlor music in the background. Well, it would be different. Working title...Meatball Mania! What do you think? or am I just totally lost it?

@ Emperor Baal: Yes, I'd love it. I'd give you credit in any game I use it in.

@ Pricey: You bowl? I shoot semi-professional. Maybe someone should make a bowling game in DB???
