Complicated angles for primitives

I've tried making complicated slopes with the cubes and I don't know how some of the map creators do it. I would love to create a tool for it eventually.

For the ball shape, I'll have to add the sphere to the primitives. It's not difficult for me to add.

People have also asked for the cylinder primitive but I don't think I'll be able to add that in unfortunately. The reason is I can only use cuboid, spherical and capsules (cylider with two half spheres on each end) as colliders. And the capsules don't scale very nicely in Unity. The colliders remains a capsule while the renderer gets stretched. I have a few ideas on how to fix that though.

Well that would be cool, have you thought about maybe just allowing us to skew the cubic primitive to make it our own shape? Or would that be more complicated.

I would like to add something like that but it would have to use cuboids as colliders. Custom colliders don't perform as well unfortunately and cause the game to lag and the character would risk passing right through the collider.

I do use a mix of both custom concave colliders and cube colliders for things like quarterpipes and jumps. The cube colliders sort of "catch" the character as he falls through. Which happens very often with concave colliders.

I definitely need to figure out a better way of laying down cubes. It seems to be the way people like to build their levels and I kind of like the blocky feel to it.
