This is a great article which (almost) totally defines how sculpties will work. Only one question: I don't understand how the pole points work. Are all the points in the top and bottom rows collapsed into one point to which all the grid lines from the row above converge? If so how is this point's position determined? Or are an 'extra' 2 points added, presumably with mesh lines from every point in the top or bottom row (as appropriate). In this case, where are the extra points positioned? | This is a great article which (almost) totally defines how sculpties will work. Only one question: I don't understand how the pole points work.

Eddy - SWEEEET. SWEEET SWEEET SWEET. thank you. --Qarl Linden 10:15, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
PS: regarding that apple texture - by my estimate that texture has been jpeg encoded at LEAST 4 times - which probably explains why your wireframe is so jaggy. let me get you an uncompressed version later today. --Qarl Linden 10:15, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
I think I died and went to heaven. Thanks for the explanation about the uvspace and mesh, makes it easier to approximate offline. Seems like all my 3d skills will be finally used in SL, once this feature enters the grid :D --Hypatia Callisto 16:08, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
