RE: n-fcyls2 / n-fcyls Primitives
2022-02-02, 14:22
More thoughts on this...
The proposed new primitives allow to complete a cylinder segment cut by a sloped plane going through a pair of vertices. While this may seem restrictive, this situation often occurs, eg. when a stud meets a cut plane.
- As far as I can tell, only prims covering up to 1/4 cylinder are needed.
- But it could make sense for cyls2 to cover up to 1/2 cylinder to simplify usage and limit number of vertices
- 1-4fcyls2 = 1-4cyls2 and 1-4fcyls = 1-4cyls
