Use it

Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.

JavaScript

import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/obelisk.mjs';

const obelisk = createAsset();
scene.add(obelisk);                      // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z

JSX

import { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/obelisk.mjs';

export function Obelisk() {
  const model = useMemo(() => createAsset(), []);
  return <primitive object={model} />;
}

GDScript

# Import obelisk.glb (download below). It is a static mesh, one material per colour.
add_child(preload("res://obelisk.glb").instantiate())

// Import obelisk.glb with glTFast (com.unity.cloud.gltfast).
// Drop it in the scene: 1 unit = 1 metre, +Z is its front.

Knobs

Knob	Type	Values	Default	What it does
`height`	range	8 to 32, step 1	`21`	Total height of the intact obelisk in metres, pedestal included. The shaft is about a tenth as wide as it is tall, as the Egyptians cut them.
`stone`	choice	`red granite` `grey granite` `limestone` `basalt`	`red granite`	red granite (pink-red Aswan granite, the classic), grey granite, limestone (pale cream) or basalt (near-black).
`carving`	toggle	on / off	`true`	Columns of abstract carved marks framed by border lines down every face. Off gives a plain polished shaft.
`gilded`	toggle	on / off	`true`	Sheathes the pyramid-shaped tip in gold, as obelisks were when new. Off leaves it bare stone.
`ruin`	range	0 to 1, step 0.05	`0`	0 stands whole. Above 0.1 the shaft is snapped: the higher the value, the lower the break; the top lies on the ground beside the stump, in two pieces above 0.6, with chips and a cracked pedestal.
