From a FB friend, this fabulous rant of truth:

I do this all the time - is it really that hardcore? x.com/CommitStrip/st…

Anyone got recommendations for algorithms to triangulate implicit surfaces?

@drhenkroodt 3d graphics - I want to turn implicit functions into triangle meshes I can 3d print :)

@drhenkroodt I grew up on Foley & van Dam! It looks like there are a bunch of better techniques now though, trying to filter through them

@drhenkroodt I’m looking for a way to model “natural” bumpy surfaces without paying for expensive 3d software I don’t have the skill to use

@drhenkroodt … building 3d models using CSG and code is far more “natural” to me

@drhenkroodt yep - I have 123d from Autodesk - should play with it more, but I think it will struggle with, e.g. wood grain

@drhenkroodt plus, it seems like a fun problem to solve :)

Well, it’s a start for my STL exporter! Actually it’s the whole thing - five lines of C code :)

Gaining control over my STL files now - and reported a reproducible crash bug to Apple - not a bad Friday evening :)

3D print for my littlest for Christmas…

Man, I need to stay off AliExpress.

So my Mac *seems* to reboot quickly, but then there’s the hell of inactive apps that look like they’re ready to run…

I got my money's worth from No Mans Sky and I don't hate Hello Games and game development is hard. Time to get off their case.

I don't know who you are, but thank you for standing outside my son's Islamic school to let him know he is welcome in your America
