    Exactly. Round is impossible as everything is made of a straight lines

    False information is false. You might need to upgrade your device for some better resolution.

    Nothing, even in real life, is perfectly round. Even the roundest looking object has miniscule straight lines making them up.

    Unless STS is doing something special with their graphics engine (which I doubt), then every in game 3D object is composed of triangles. Some of these objects might consist of lots of triangles to make them appear smooth, but if you zoom in enough, you'll notice not only straight lines, but flat surfaces.

    For people arguing for perfectly round/smooth 3D objects in game, perhaps an upgrade of your understanding of computer graphics is in order.

    I don't see stray corners on my iPad. And if you look at not the rounding of the hat, but the cone shape on top, it's circular.

    And pardon me for not being a file cabinet of computer graphics and 3D game engines. There was no need to be rude. If you'd like to continue your point, PM me. Thanks.

    Remember this equation? x^2 + y^2 = r^2 , in case you don't or you still haven't encountered it, this is your basic equation of a circle. If you go back to your geometry history, you would find there that the only reason why the perfect circle can never exist is because one would need to draw a circle (or any shape for that matter) down to its smallest size (your quarks or subatomic particles), nobody has gone that far I think, and even if someone did, as technology advances, man will find smaller units over and over so in effect there will never be an end to the search for that perfect circle. If I'm not mistaken, don't quote me, the most perfect circle was made out of particle waves but that is not even considered the "perfect" because there are smaller units that particles (subatomic particles), but it's as perfect as it gets today, maybe next few years, someone can measure a perfect circle on subatomic level, but maybe when that day comes, a smaller unit has been discovered (mega super subatomic quark or something). The point is, the theory on shapes doesn't suggest that the perfect circle doesn't exist because the "roundest looking object has miniscule straight lines...", nope, in fact, it's suggesting that there is, it's just that the technology cannot comprehend it yet. For the record, just for technicality's sake, the word "perfect" cannot be applied on a geometrical shape, that will never exist because of the same theory as the perfect circle. In summary, existence is not being questioned, the ruler is just not efficient yet, think about it.

    PS: Agree on topic, disagree on real life comparison.

    Um, can this be brought into Off-Topic.
    I'm really hoping newbs don't wind up here and get the wrong impression of the general foruming community of PL ;O

    They are there indeed. They're rounded panels. They come together to try and appear as a cone shape, but it isn't perfectly round.

    Subatomically everything is a multidimensional wave form until it collapses into a vector state of determination.
    I'm sory, this was neither funny or on topic. Cary on.
