## Creating Custom Mobjects

Extend VMobject or Mobject to create custom shapes:

```python theme={null}
from manimvtk import *

class CustomStar(VMobject):
    def __init__(self, points=5, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        # Define your shape logic
        angles = np.linspace(0, TAU, points * 2 + 1)
        vertices = [
            [np.cos(a), np.sin(a), 0] * (2 if i % 2 else 1)
            for i, a in enumerate(angles[:-1])
        ]
        self.set_points_as_corners(vertices)
        self.close_path()
```
