*begins laughing hysterically*

his calculus in that function's not even correct

i had to fix his calculus - that's for calculating the normal of a _FACE_

i appreciate the effort i really do, but you don't understand what your'e looking at so just stop while you're ahead

  Wisely, I think I'll take you're advice.  Good luck though...

maybe I can be a little more useful once I'm a little closer to getting my CS degree, lol, haven't even gotten the preresiquites out of the way yet... mumble... mumble

so there are errors in the normal calculations, can we see an example of these errors

Bobboau, bringing you products that work.............. in theory

1. I know nothing about the technicalities of .cob to .pof conversion.
2. This is a great advance.
3. Make it an option  .
4. Keep up the good work Kazan, you kick *** .

Actually the url i posted shows that the normal can be correct and still fail

(sorry, can't ressist putting my two bits in  )

...which if I understand Kazan and the article he posted correctly would explain the collision detection errors that sometimes crop up when using the utility.  

am I correct in this assumption?

[Kazan]

wrong again

it explains how the normal can not function correctly even when it's value is correct

(IE normal problems that are blamed on PCS can be explained by that because i checked my calculus 10 times)

and with long-thin polys the probability of one of the special conditions occuring increases
