Plotz Generator

Plot Generator: This is a powerful tool that can generate countless appealing story plots. We have collected more than 400,000 interesting story plots. These plots have a variety of styles, action, fantasy, romance, etc., each style you have can find countless story plots. You can generate it yourself by typing in the words you want to include and entering the quantity, which can be. This plot generator creates original and random storylines for plays, novels, short stories, soap opera, TV series or a movie script. The plotlines generated are not guaranteed to make sense but they do inspire writers by triggering a creative chain of thought.

How to model and build a hollow torus (doughnut) using Plotz, the HTML5 modeller for Minecraft. Your torus model can be up to 256 blocks diameterand the ring can be any thickness (equal width and height diameters) up to half the overall diameter. This page will guide you on how to use Plotz.You can launch Plotz Minecraft Torus generator from the link below.

Using Plotz to make a Torus in Minecraft

Start Plotz Torus Generator by selecting the torus model from the Plotz model menu or launching from the link above. Adefault torus model be shown on screen. Resize your browser window or enter full screen mode if required. Plotz will resize to make use of the full screen.Tablet devices such as the iPad will be best in landscape as the torus model is always wider than it is tall.

Use the sliders at the bottom to control the torus diameter and thickness. As the thickness is limited to half the diameter, set your diameter first. The torus modelis quite fast to render but larger models may take longer. Altering precision may be required to get rid of square edges on end caps. Higher precision doesnot always product the best models so play around with this.

The number of blocks required to build the model in Minecraft is displayed in the top right.

To go back to the model menu use back in your browser or select the model name button at the top.

View any horizontal layer of your torus using the slider on the right. This works in both 2D and 3D modes. In 3D mode the layer shown is highlighted yellow. Dragging the slider to the top will leave the top layer highlighted. Use the + button to remove it.

Build each layer in Minecraft upwards from the bottom. Keep using the + button at the top of the layer slider to move up a layer.

The Zoom button cycles through 100%, 200% and 400%. While zoomed, pan the canvas by dragging it. Plotz saves graphics memory byupdating the display when you stop dragging.

Almost all models are symmetrical, so in 2D mode, simply zoom to the top / left quadrant and build that 4 times over for each layer. Foreach build just orient yourself 90° in Minecraft and repeat the sequence.

Particularly for larger models, 2D mode is arguably more useful when building. In this mode a layer of your model is displayed as a grid. Blocks are boldly colored while any blocks not obscured by the current layer and visible on the layer below appear ghosted. This helps positioning and buildchecking.

Block counts on both the inside and outside torus curves appear in the top left quadrant in 2D mode. Counts are colored groups of 5 (5 red, 5 green, 5 blue etc.).As previously mentioned, symmetry means most models simply require this quadrant to be built 4 times over.

I wrote Plotz online voxel sphere generator to help people build hollow spheres made out of blocks in Minecraft. Using Plotz you can select the size of the sphere you want to build and see it on screen. You can then print out a schematic or use Plotz's on-screen step facility to see how the sphere is built layer by layer.

Start by visiting Plotz and follow the 'Take me to Plotz' link. Initially Plotz shows a 32 block high sphere. I'd recommend starting this size or smaller. This size took me a day to make (In Real Life) although I did mine all the materials myself. Use the arrows either side of the size to step up or down 1 block in size or type in a new size between 1 and 64 and hit enter to change it. Be patient if your machine is slow while Plotz generates and renders the sphere. Once you're happy with the size of sphere you want to build you can either print out a schematic OR work on screen.

If printing, hit the print button. Plotz will preview the schematic on screen. The various print options are well explained and mostly relate to saving paper. The ghost layer is by far the most useful option and is turned on as default. This makes sure you can see how each layer is positioned relative to the layer below. Adjust your options if required and then click Print. Choose your printer, set and printer specific options, start printing and make a coffee.

You might also consider printing to a file such as a PDF file. I've heard CUTE PDF is good for this but haven't used it myself. Printing to a file will allow you to bring the schematic up on-screen. This is especially useful if you have multiple monitors.

If you don't have a printer, don't despair. I actually found working on screen and stepping through the layers of my sphere very easy. Start by entering 1 in 'show up to layer'. Now use the arrow buttons either side of that value to step through the layers. The gold highlight clearly shows the current layer. Switch between Plotz and Minecraft while building using your OS hotkeys (alt+tab for windows).

Make sure there is enough room to build your sphere. I put down dirt 'posts' to mark out the width and height where I wanted to build. This way I made sure I wasn't going to end up having to dig out any mountains or cliffs that might be in the way. Also, remember that from ground level to the top of the sky is 64 blocks. Don't leave yourself short of space to finish your sphere.

Starting from the ground up is a no-brainer choice. Where there are no overlapping blocks between one layer and another, just use dirt blocks as 'joiners' and remove them later. I also used dirt with ladders for scaffolding as well as ladders. Always enter (and exit) from the top in case there are any creepers about and light up the inside with torches to stop skeletons and zombies spawning inside at night.

When building a layer I found it easiest to remember the stepping around the edge of 1/8th of the circle as a series of numbers in my head. Even when I built a 48 size sphere I never had to remember more then 4 or 5 numbers. Build each eigth towards another to make quarters. When they meet at the correct place you can be confident there's no mistakes. Before you know it, that layer is finished and you're on to the next.

I hope you find Plotz useful and please leave feedback here on my blog with any comments you have!
