Wait, stop I'm wrong. I just asked Paul to explain it to me again. (so I'm dense) Maby I got it right this time. Use the Mesh Smooth set everything to "1.0" and operate on the trianles, Then manally punch the center out of each hexagon. (Mesh edit, delete faces) It's kind of like playing with bubble wrap. When you get most of the bubbles popped ya gotta roll it all arroung looking for the last few bubbles. Last, select all the faces and use the extrude faces tool. This takes more work than the Lattice method, but the lattice method produces WAY too many faces. The obj for the mash bikini was almost 10MB. This OBJ is like 700 K. I'll be posting a conforming chain mail bikini bottom latter tonight.
