I've managed to get a little more done thanks to Paul Easter - my VB app now interfaces to his trig.xls spreadsheet to calculate the Z co-ords for points given the X and Y and 3 vertices of the polygon on which the point sits. I could have put the calculations into the VB app but I was too tired (it's nearly 2am here!) to work the calcs back. I've uploaded a 640x480 AA render of the pattern so far - just the main part of the pattern, but you can clearly see that I've managed to fold it over the edges that make up the 3626b surfaces properly, none of the quads or triangles overlap edges like before. All of the Z co-ords are now correct as well. I haven't filled in between the pattern and the 3626bs01 subpart which is why the head appears hollow. I've also posted my DAT file so that other's can see what I've done so far - if you have comments or corrections please send them either direct to me or to this group so that I can correct any mistakes now before I add the outer edge of the pattern and the eyes. Render is at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=28322 DAT is at http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/danielcrichton/InProgress/maulphase2.dat Hopefully I'll be able to finish this part in a couple of weeks (company is sending me to Seattle next week but I'm trying to grab a laptop to take with me so I can continue if I'm sober!).

Just thought I'd let people know I'm working on this (as Franklin Cain and Paul Easter have known for a while, amongst others). Since undertaking this part I've realised how much work goes into authoring a patterned part - you can't just slap the (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad)
