One thing that someone noted (I think it was Don Heyse) when I mentioned
this was that it might be possible to instead check for the lack of type 2
lines of color 24 between two adjoining faces, and use this as an indicator
that the two faces should be smooth shaded. This would solve the problem on
the inside of the minifig hand, but it may produce smooth shading in places
where it is undesirable. Most of these could probably be avoided by having
a maximum difference in angle between the two faces. On the other hand, I
think your algorithm would be MUCH easier to implement.

| Hello people, this is my first post. A few weeks ago I mailed with Travis Cobbs and Lars Hassing about an algorithm I constructed to make objects look smoother. This can be done by using per vertex normals and smooth shading. The normals can be (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
