Quite frankly, I have no idea what a 48 version would look like that
followed James' approach. Would there be a single row of quads with the
rest being made up of triangles, or a bunch of rows of quads with a small
number of triangles. I actually tried both variations originally in my
primitive substitution code and eventually gave up on each.
However, if people are interested in the 48 sphere primitive I posted, made
up completely of triangles, I'll look into generating the type 5 lines.

| (...) Travis, do you save any results of the variation trials ? I think we should do the same thing here, make a compaire image of the different possible variations and decide wich one looks the best (before you start generating those type 5 lines). (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Travis, what do you think about this: (please take a look at the following image) (URL) tesselation matches the existing normal 1-8sphe.dat tesselation closely, all "even" points are identical to the points in the normal 1-8sphe primitive. (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad)
