No: they never reached the point of actually generating a sphere for
anything past the standard tesselation. All the higher tesselations
produced essentially garbage in some form or another. The reason I gave up
was that I was unable to come up with a general algorithm that worked at
all. I did have the further difficulty that the algorithms I was working on
were designed to work with n points, where n was divisible by 4, as opposed
to some fixed number of points (like 16 and 48).

| (...) 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)
