List is quiet so I'll repost this :
*********************************
RS applies suedo Catmull/Clark vertex/edge transforms via
pre-determined ...
1) Free
2) Semi-sharp
3) Sharp
4) Rounded
I'm not knowledgable enough to know if the transition from
"free" to "rounded" is a linear one , and it doesn't really
matter for my point anyway (below) .
Is there a patent that prevents the use of a "0-1"
'Slider Control' on the interface that would allow
a user to vary the amount of "roundness" ? To vary
the amount of "freeness" and "sharpness" ?
Could this not be applied as an option ? Why are we
"Locked" into an all-or-nothing mentality ? (yes , I
know there are many tricks to use to get this effect)
If the transition between _is_ actually a fairly linear
one , then why not a 5th option ? (see below)
5) Floating (may not be linear & is probably logarithmic)
0.0 - 'Super Free'
.25 - 'Free'
.75 - 'Rounded'
1.0 - 'Super Rounded'
