[comp.graphics] Algorithms wanted...sphere->polygons...

pcb@basin06.cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (03/09/91)

Hope this doesn't bore you...I am looking for more references/algorithms
for turning cones, spheres, cylinders, ..., into patches (polygons).
Is there a good graphics book discussing this in depth?
