This one keeps on printing meaning dataSource.MulticellularPositions is null, for some reason

Here it prints false, thus cellPositions is not null

And this one keeps on printing, like, constantly. Membrane keeps on re-generating

Does this approach actually work or (in terms of making a good visual end result)? This is not how I would try to approach the intercellular matrix graphics at all (I'd make a separate mesh or a set of meshes to connect the cells), so I don't really want to spend a bunch of time trying to help debug this approach if it doesn't end up working in the end.

I can't really tell you if it looks good as I can't get it to work in the first place, that's why I need help, so it's up to you. I don't really like the idea of some filler meshes inbetween cells as it isn't quite clear what such thing is (cell? connective tissue?) but if you really want that, I'm ready to scrap this solution

I'm not ready to make a decisions on this, but my guess is that stretching the individual membranes will be a very hard to thing to get right. Though we don't know for certain until both approaches are tried as to what they can achieve. Sadly though I don't think it is good use of my limited time right now to try to get the code in this PR working, so that's up to you for now. Or if some other programmer is willing to help, that could be another way this PR gets working.

I have added a Voronoi diagram-based vertex manipulation algorithm, so that the vertices projected onto the diagram's edges.

Hello!, how is this going? Will it continue when we are at the multicellular stage? Thanks! |

I think this will be stuck until someone else takes over this PR. |

I couldn't really figure out how shape generator works, or how to make my code work well if it. It ended either scaling up entire microbe, making "cliffs" in membrane or other stuff. I was thinking of another way to approach this but I didn't start yet nor even planned to do so. The purpose of this PR was solely to show code to others so they could work on it too. Either way sorry if I made you unnecessary hopes for multicellular matrix being sooner then planned, it was just an experiment. |
Dont worry!, i still waiting for another solution... thanks for answer! |
|
I might be onto something even though I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. Need to smooth out these edges for sure |

I think that that's the best I was able to get it to now. If we still want to go with this approach we would need to redo the caching of the multicelular organisms' membranes (bacause they don't update when the organism grows, you need to leave the game and turn it back on. And you can also see the organisms species that have only one cell and it's pointy) and maybe consider packing the cells closer to each other? Also would need to improve the smoothing in some corner cases... (I also don't quite like the smoothing functions that I came up with, they need to be redone probably)
