I think the O could be done with overlapping rings (and roughly 3/4 of the
C), now that I think about it (I may try it before converting everything
over to quads). But considering the C cannot be done without using quads,
it may look odd that the O is round while the C is not. Considering Niels'
last statement, I'll just go with converting the ndis and disc primitives to
quads. Thanks for your help.
