On the subject of Hi-Res primitives, I have been developing several lately.
Should we have a "new" posting group so that they do not get mistakenly
downloaded as "16's".
So far the "48's" primitves I have made are,
1-4con1.dat thru 1-4con10.dat
1-4ring1.dat thru 1-4rin20.dat
1-4cyls.dat, 1-4cyls2.dat
1-8ndis.dat
2-8sphe.dat, 4-8sphe.dat (uses 1-8sphe.dat by Steve Bliss)
torii (toruses, torus', tore)
based upon our previous discussions about 16's torii, I am building a
spreadsheet to create 48's torii. I have the shape correct, just not the
conditional lines(yet).
t04i3333.dat (I picked this one as a starting point), more to come after the
spreadsheet works correctly.
Oh yeah, anyone wanting to download the 16's torii primitves I have already
made, I have them available as a "zip" file download available from my
"utilities" page. Look for "Torus primitives (torii.zip)"
