Quote - Like I said before, I'll see if that paper will improve what can be used for the initial guess, if it does so much the better, but either way I'll look into tidying up the code I already have (the solver bit is only about 60 lines but it's mixed in with drawing and window init code for P8)

Ah!  Sorry.    I didn't realize that's what you were doing.  Thank you!   :thumbupboth:

Quote - As you can see from the image, curve A is smoother than curve B (end on view).

Perhaps the default sections should be cut down to 28, so the smoothness is a closer match whatever the angle of view. I'm not saying that curve A and B should be the same smoothness, just that they should be slightly closer.

Okay.  That's what I thought you meant, but I wasn't sure.  I'm happy reducing the default for Sections to 28.  :thumbupboth:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
