The best GPU of the 15th century!

Ladies and gentlemen,
mr. Paolo Uccello: he was an Italian painter and a mathematician who was notable for his pioneering work on visual perspective in art.
I've always loved his work, and recently I've stumbled upon this figure again- it's simply astonishing! every time.
-
Indeed nice wireframe (although a little bit low poly for rendering I guess). What app did he use?
-
What is GPU?
-
-
Looks like he used an Early Version of Lathe.rb.
-
I think he used the tool Quill Version 1397-1475
-
Notice, he kept his mesh clean. Almost all quads.
-
So.....uhm is anyone gonna attempt to make this one in SU?
-
The mazzocchio: a torus primitive.
-
... and the dirty ruby script to draw a mazzocchio
-
Finally textured and rendered

The software was officially sold with the name of SuperDelineo or SupraDelineo, but most of its users called it simply SD (read 'eseh-dee). I dont know which version was used here.

Wow Tig! Quite perfect.
I may be wrong, but I suspect that the triangular faces are part of an array of pyramids surrounding the upper part of the cup.
Time for a lathe&array ruby plugin?

Time for a lathe&array ruby plugin?CF's Component Stringer does the job already - easily added with a small pyramid component [make path in two parts as it can't handle loops] - then explode instances back into main geometry...
