(...) Good idea with a twist primitive (twist.dat ?). Perhaps it would be simpler if it were only in one octant: 2 24 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 24 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 24 1 1 1 0 1 0 2 24 0 1 0 0 0 0 POV code would be: //x - yz = 0 quadric { <0,0,0>, <0,0,-1>, (...) (19 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I still have the feeling that if the surface were pinned down to the concave green line those zig-zags would go away. But I couldn't decide whether to divvy it (...)

You also get an ugly shading effect with flat shading because of those lumps. (URL) There's (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
