I made a bit of progress on the new meshing system for #TangerineCSG this weekend.
Yesterday I worked out how to enumerate all of the cells, faces, and vertices for a rhombic dodecahedron lattice with only integer math!! Today I rewrote the C++ prototype to make use of that.
This screenshot is not representative of the final result (I'm still missing some parts that will greatly improve the quality and accuracy of the final mesh), but I dig the accidental particle system vibe going on here.
I wonder if my "generating repeating rhombic dodecahedra with entirely integer coordinates" work from this weekend is worth it's own blog post? Would anyone be interested in that?
I was planning on writing up something about the new meshing system after I had a chance to experiment with a few more improvements, but I think this technique is pretty interesting on it's own.
Attached: 2 images @TomF @lisyarus I got it :3 The first image shows the integer addressing diagram for the first three layers. Magenta is the center of a shared face, lime green is a cell center, and blue indicates where a vertex would occur. White tiles do not correspond to anything. The second image shows the same data as a rhombic dodecahedra honeycomb. The vertices and face centers are indicated with the same color scheme. (cw for trypophobia, maybe mostly on the second image idk)
@misterdave I will probably write something up this weekend, but if you're interested in reading source code in the mean time, this is where my naive implementation is right now https://github.com/Aeva/tangerine/blob/072566c10ff59d42a7eeb42008880127f47cbb97/tangerine/sodapop.cpp#L1325
(the bulk of the integer lattice stuff is implemented in the two structures above that line)
