  Re: Question: polygons filling a t-shape
 
(...) Actually, with LDraw code, reducing triangle pairs to quads reduces that section of code by 35% (more-or-less). If you've got a lot of surfaces, that's not an insignificant savings of bytes. Steve (21 years ago, 5-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)

Set 375 did use stickers for the shields & vests, but when I tried to set these up as stickers, the end result is they either "float" off the surface or disappear into the (...)

The latest word on this is in (URL) although there (...) (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

  patterned shield parts?
