Ok so it’s been a few years, but I took another look at this.
Did anybody ever make a twist primitive? It appears like all
you need to do is something like this.
|
Very interesting!
I am not so much comvinced by the improvement for flat shading. Looks like we
trade triangular artefacts in one direction with artefacts in the other one.
But it drastically improves the very ugly condlines artefacts!
Not sure there are so many parts that would benefit from this rectangular
twisted primitive (apart from those mentionned in this thread), but it’s worth
creating it nonetheless. Don, would you submit it to PT?

PS: Attached your code with triangles merged to quads (removes LDView artifacts
in smooth shading) and condlines added. (I hope that ftx only messes up code in
preview...)

Unfortunately it messes up unless you inlude FTX line breaks, or fixed code box
characters (pipe). Unfortunately, both make it harder for people using email or
newsreaders, so probably best to do it as you did, browsers can just click “View
Raw Message” to get the nicely formatted version.
(Hmmm I thought there was a FTX group woulda set FUT there)
