Please somebody give me a quick tutorial on how to make hexagones

Format: bedrock geometry

Isnt there like a plugin that does that

Do you mean like 3D modeled hexagons or textured

[sudden timber]

3d modeled

This in 3d

For item/block models, not possible (due to the rotation limits).
For entity models, you'd just model it, though I'd not recommend it due to the performance cost such a model would come with.
My recommendation would be to just texture the hexagons.

[sudden timber]

I'm using entity model yeah, I will still try to model it cuz it's not impossible and I'm trying to improve my modelling skills, that's kind of a good challenge. Also I don't think it would affect performance that much

[vocal jasper]

well, if you wanna model that whole grid then yes, it will

cause that will be hundreds of cubes in the end

[sudden timber]

I played with a timeless and classic (1.16.5) ressource pack which changed the model of the ak and replaced it with another one that had this handguard

I didn't notice any frames drop

But may I just know how to make an hexagon?

Please

Ok nvm, I will use a reference picture

Thanks for the help y'all

[vocal jasper]

you use 6 cubes and rotate them 60° and stick them together

[vocal jasper]

and they modeled each hexagon? or did they do it with a texture instead?

[tiny granite]

A single of these guns likely won't cause issues, even with hundreds of cubes.
But a chest filled with them?
Also, Entity models are a lot more performance heavy than item models.
If a resource pack remodelled something, it was most likely an item model.

[sudden timber]

I just found the model and they made holes in the texture

I just didn't remember that

[sudden timber]

It actually worked, thank you :)
