Ellipse/Cylinder - spheres Blueprints


Recommended Posts

so, this website is great for Ellipses, i have made a few towers in my world, and i have used this website to get the perfect size for them.

 

all you do it select the height and width of the object and your good to go.

 

for 3D objects you can also select a 3D view, or view it in 2D, layer by layer.

 

Here is the website: http://www.plotz.co.uk/plotz.php

incase you do not want to use the website here is a pic of some ellipses

the website also have blueprints for a wizard tower, an observatory globe, a piston mob grinder and a lightouse, you can also change the height and width of it so you know it will fit, and you can adjust it how you want it.

Well, using that site, I've managed to get the tower built, and just need a roof putting on. Started to decorate inside. I would have made a right mess without it. Anyone know if there are any blueprints for a stadium? A friend of mine has never built anything decent before and got Minecraft for easy gs, and insists he can build a stadium.

Haven't seen stadium blueprints, but, I'd imagine you could use plotz to build an oval, then quarter inverted domes on the ends, and just stair step the middles up to the level of the quarter domes. That would create your stadium "bowl" and you could do entrances and stuff afterwards. In theory anyway. :)

about the stadium.

 

i tried to build a gladiator areana in the shape of a stadium, so i used plotz, but an oval isnt exactly a stadium shape, so instead i made it circular (77x77)

 

i suppose you could make an oval the size that you want it, and then make it look more stadium like. also post pics when you ware finished :D

 

here is my gladiator arena:

You are correct about the oval. Wasn't thinking earlier. I am now intrigued and since I don't have anything better to do, I might attempt this tonight.

 

What I would do is determine the width & length of the stadium. Say, 120m x 50m. Find a circle on plotz for 50m and build half of that circle. Then, build straight lines out from there. Since the radius is 25m, you would build a straight line for 70m and then build another half circle to connect the two straight lines. After that, I would just stair step the pattern up to the height you want.

a stadium would be best with a rectangle with rounded sides pick one of those circles from the side as a guide then cut it in 4, use them as the corners of the stadium then extend the long parts on the sides of the circle out as the sides of the stadium

 

you do get oval and round stadiums but that is what think would end up looking most impressive in minecraft for the basic shape of it

like that see with the straight sides on all 4 but then the rounded corners

Well I found the 3D layout for the wizards tower and was able to use that. But when trying to use plotz on my phone to make a circle I can't use it on my phone. Nothing to interact with. The circle is 38 block from the centre to the outside. I still need 2 more circles beyond that. I'm making an epic garden lol. The pic of the circles in a post earlier don't really help much as I can't see how many blocks are in each section. Any help would be very grateful.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I finally cracked the circle mmaking process. I found a website that even works on my mobile phone, and you get a graph that shows you exactly where you need to place your blocks. Helped me so much with my 75 wide circle.

That is the website I used, I hope someone else finds this useful if, like me you're having issues.
