I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
I was wondering how to make non-cubic blocks. I don't mean just triangles or cylinders, but custom shapes. If you don't know what I mean I will post an example, but I don't want to do that unless I HAVE to.
This is a signature virus. Add me to your signature so that I can multiply. Don't ever save anything as a JPEG.
The only way to do that with nodes is by fooling the eyes into thinking it's an irregular shape using node boxes. See this topic for an example: http://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=2153

You CAN, however, build non-cubic "entities", which don't really take up space like blocks/nodes and can (optionally) move around dynamically in the game. I just build a new bag mod using them, with a 3D model for the in-world representation.
