Obviously, for a cube there's only so much you can do (scale, rotation, translation), but for a sphere could you change the resolution at runtime? Because that would change the geometric makeup.</span></div>

<div class="gmail_extra">By deformable, which one do you mean:<br>
1. changing the primitive geometry properties should change its render delegate</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">2. the primitives can experience physical deformations (soft bodies)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">I believe currently none of them are, but (1) shouldn't be much to implement, while I do not think (2) should be possible (use a mesh if you have soft bodies). We could have however utilities to convert primitives to meshes.</div>
