Window frames are sick, would’ve loved to have those when I made my Ball Race map, good addition! The inside of Dino Drive looks awesome as well!

OH MY GOD NEW FRAME (CANVAS?) ITEMS O_O I’M SO OVERJOYED, YOU HAVE NO IDEA- there’s a lot of useful shapes that I desperately wanted; especially half arch, circle, and half circle types for windows- THANK YOU SO MUCH AHH ; w ;

also some of these shapes could be useful for recreating doors in Kirby themed stuff; great for castles, useful for churches with these big glass window shapes…!! there’s HUGE potential there :slight_smile:

dino drive looks absolutely fantastic, i can already tell it’ll be one of my fav courses!!
