How do you create a sphere made of all quads; Polygon Mesh has poles and polygon is triangles ? I want a sphere without any poles; but all quads.

Using "Clothoids" creating Alignment when the design is exported to 2D the transition curves turn into tiny lines not to be able to annotate them as clothoids. Is there a way to maintain clothoids during the export? I need to show these in my drawings as transition curves.   What is the best way to ...

I was wondering if there is a way of combining two primitives e.g. two 2D circles that get into a certain range of each other like in the gif below. I was taking a shot at it myself but so far it's too dependent on point numbers and orders. combining_circles.hipnc

Hi Hope all is well, I have matra rendering curves using attribute create width, but i was wondering is there a way to have the lines taper towards the ends ? any help would be amazing. Thanks for your time Sam FIND_POINTS_CURVE.hipnc

I'm working on a simple toon shader using the object's normal angle to shade the object. This is the equation I have built in Vex --> abs(dot(normalize(N),normalize(I))) Right now it works fine generating the toon lines from the position of the camera, but now I would like to use a null's posi...
