I use this page to pre-document some experimental code (as experimental, not distributed in official release)



Splines

Imported from Megapov
Relicensing from ABX is needed before allowing distribution
(some bugs get fixed in the process)


Colour space interpolation

The colour interpolation is available for:

  • mesh
  • blob
  • polygon

It can be used with texture_map, pigment_map or colour_map.

The interpolation is performed between the resulting colours from the evaluation, not along the map.

Which colourspace ?

Interpolation for polygon

Tesselation & mesh play

Yoda: Yes, run! Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Renderer. But beware of the dark side. 
      Mesh, Heightfield, Bicubic Patch; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, 
      quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, 
      forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Isosurface's apprentice.
Luke: Parametric precompute... Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. 
      A Jedi uses the Renderer for knowledge and defense, NEVER for attack.
Luke: But tell my why I can't...
Yoda: No, no! There is no "why".
