Right now this is just a question, before I propose to actually do anything…but have we ever considered improving the geometry of the 2x2 round family of parts?
Specifically, the area around the stud notches tends to be 16-sided, non-primitive geometry, which matches well with the 16-sided curved prims that make up the bulk of the parts. But when rendered with prim sub, there is a noticeable flattening and/or seams around the stud notches.
I assume the easiest approach would be to upgrade the curved prims to hi-res versions, and to increase the number of facets in the non-prim geometry around the stud notches to match. But I wondered if this has ever been proposed before, and whether any consensus was reached on whether or how to go about it?
