Fixed the slice mode to support fillets. (Working in the command line and using modo to actually render it is really helping keep focus) - think my fancy cylinder generator is done

Smooth fillets are done! - also semi-smooth chamfers and reverse-fillets where the top/side seams are sharp but things are smooth radially. #lowpoly

Hard vertex normals are now working for fillet/chamfer/reverse-fillet cylinder generation. Next up ... smooth normals. #lowpoly

I added the 'fillet mode' and since I'm running the radius/Y position through a shaping function - accidentally got it backwards and now I've fallen into a rabbit hole of options 😄

So, fillet is underway. I realise that actually you might want to have a segmented chamfer though. So I'll add an option to explicitly select fillet or chamfer, rather than my initial plan of making "segments = 1" imply a chamfer.

Started working on adding filleted edge support to the cylinder. I want each primitive to be packed with features rather than needing tons of nodes / stacked modifiers to meet common requirements. #lowpoly

Added (and documented!) a new procedural Tube primitive to the growing roster. #lowpoly

Trying not to repeat mistakes of the past and go off and only do code - I've made a start on some documentation !

Gooch shading was available in Modo for like 10+ years before that video, so I'm glad it was popularised! (RIP Modo) It's really great for clearly shading hard surface models like a 3D blueprint. Definitely adding this feature. Uhm enjoy this example image 😬

Current status. There is no UI. I wrote a command line tool that generates primitive shapes. Currently a box, plane, cone and cylinder. Definitely early days !

I'm working a new old-fashioned low poly 3D modelling (direct and procedural), animation (4D!) and rendering (Gouraud + Phong) software with a focus on #lowpoly and #retrocgi

I'm calling it ... " Ancient 4D "

... it might take a while. Follow along to watch it grow !
