Green Turds

No im not kidding!! I am writing a function that will make a GeoSphere iv seen the code onces but cant find it again...

Right now all i have is something that looks like little turds! and not a full sphere! and for somereason i can seem to colour it other than greenish dark colour :(
Can anyone point me the direction of the GeoSphere routine please??

Hi Folks,

Completely on-topic but also non-related. To make green poo, drink a bottle of Blue Bols Curacao, it certainly does the trick.

@SoggyP: I concurr, this method is tried and tested.

A night on Niagra (formerly Viagra = Double Vodka, BlueBold + RedBull) will do that to you.

Eating a lot of spinach will produce similar effects.

I would like to point out that I see little help in this posting thread....

Eh.. Rook - this code makes a tetrahedron which is the initial shape you need for geospheres?! It's a good start.

I'm sure you'll know this but incase you don't :) ...

You need to go through each triangle on the terta.. , find the mid point, add a new point and extrude this to the radius you want to create based on it's normals. Build another 3 tries with this new point being the mid point and repeat. Obviously rebuilding the triangles in mesh with each iteration.

Sorry I was pointing out the number of sarcastic remarks to helpful ones... mine included in the sarcasm... ;)

Has my code for creating a geosphere from an icosahedron... much smoother than any other starting shape as an icosahedron is already a "geosphere".. equally distributed points.

Also includes functions for subdividing an equilateral triangle in 4 smaller equilateral triangles, with spherical smoothing of the newly created points.

ZombieWoof... nice code dude!

@rook: Thanks :)

Nice headache I got getting the icosa verts setup right :)

The rest of the code was relatively simple :)

thanks, thats good enough :)
