I am a total newbie in game dev and UE 4.

Want to create a sphere with ~ 2 000 000 polygons where players actor(cube) can roll 4 different ways. Only 4 because he is a cube. :slight_smile:

Eg Earth is a sphere, ground where people walk, man is a cube (player character).

1 - create a sphere
2 - spaw players cube which user controls
3 - add cube movement on the sphere ground

Where should I dig, what to learn?
Any suggestions about the implementation of such feature would be very appreciated!

You also need custom physics dir that. Have a Look at the marketplace-one nice Dev has releases a free Plugin for your usecase, I guess it was Something with tinyPlanet or planetMovement… sorry I don’t remember and Im Not on PC Till monday

Thanks, it is not 100% what I need. But at least something. Also, I was thinking about the flat ground with a sphere on the background. When a character moves, we move sphere. What do you think? I will need to spawn items on earth, check collisions, etc. Is this way easier and faster to implement? Because I do not need very difficult physics like jumping or traveling in between spheres.
