Triangulation and Convex Polygons
-
Can you post an image with result wished ?
-
I was thinking one edge from inner to outer was enough - in order to reduce the number of faces.
But thinking of it more, ultimately everything breaks down to triangles, so if you have a polygonal face in SU - internally it'll be made up of many triangles. The same thing goes for any other software. So converting a face into it's internal triangles doesn't really make the model heavier - in terms of total number of triangles the graphic card needs to draw.
-
Better to make a retoplogy in 3D party ?

Hi,
To update my previous post -
Any 1 face with ANY number of holes can be divided into 2 faces with no holes.
where the number of required dividing lines is defined by,
NumDividingLines = NumHoles + 1
please see the following diagram as illustration.

does the SU-Catt converter then create the correct output?

i'm trying to re-work Jonathan's SU-ABEC to use ABEC 2.0 but it's tough because their model shifted a lot... http://www.jonsh.net/blog/?page_id=197

Glenn,
Small world. I know Jonathan well also. Have we met?
Anyway, Yes, if the faces with holes are partitioned as shown the output of SU2CATT is interpreted correctly.

Will merging vertices help?
Your model reduced from 200+ to ~72

Merging vertices looks like it helps for that case. I can't check it for multiple holes though right now. Thanks
