Hierarchical Quadratic Mesh

Taking the Hierarchical Triangular Mesh prototype further, with a quadratic version texturing is easier using a skybox-like texture. More details coming soon...

Hierarchical Triangular Mesh

A HTM based sphere generation prototype, each primitive is approximately the same size and therefore it does not suffer from any singularities. http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=64531 http://researchweb.iiit.ac.in/~shiben/docs/HexGeomClip_Shiben-PJN.pdf More details coming soon...
