Feature freeze for polar grids

Here is a quick update: I have reached feature freeze for polar grids, meaning I'm done with all the features. Now I need some last polish and I must prepare new images for the Asset Store, then it's all good to go. So, what took me so long? Well, designing and writing code is one thing, then you have to put it to use This often reveals weak points, some things might seems counter-intuitive, or some things are more complicated to use than others.

One example would be making an object rotate as it moves through the grid so it's always facing outwards. Sure, you can do it using the existing API to convert through coordinate systems, extract the angle of the object relative to the grid's Z-axis and then use Unity's built in math functions to create the quaternion by rotating x degrees around the grid's Z-axis. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. That's why now you can just call the World2Rotation method to get the quaternion directly, then you can do whatever you want with it.

This delayed the release a bit but such small additions can make a big difference in the end. Another thing worth noting is that this release has been written in Unity 4 and as such it will list Unity 4 as the required version in the Asset Store. Unity 4 has been out for half a year now, but even if you still want to stick with Unity 3 you shouldn't have any problems as I didn't use any Unity 4 exclusive API.

Well, that's it for now, thanks for reading.
