Your 54 Seconds Sphere with a hole. 2005-05-24 - By Anthony Ware
Back
Actually, I just used the tS geosphere primitive - I didn't do the
triangulation. I use geospheres almost exclusively because their geometry
is much superior 95% of the time (especially in physical simulations). The
standard sphere primitive is pretty useless for a lot of things though
occasionally it has it's place for me.
I can also tell you that my booleaned cylinder in a sphere looked OK with
a couple of different textures and three different light setups. There
were no wrinkles visible in any of the quick renders I did in order to get
the result I posted.
I'm not particularly for or against either NURBs or Polys - I'll use them
either when the situation suits. They each have plus and minus points and
compliment each other rather than it being a case of one or the other.
