hi,

a lot of detail, thanks. there's one thing I'd like to clarify straight
away, before "cogitating" and reply.
suppose you had used the method described to make the HilbertTower
image, the template would be a "strip", ie the windows/facade for a
single floor, and would have been applied 20 or so times? thanks.

It *could* be done that way-- floor by floor-- but the basic window photo tiles
I use are typically 3 or 4 window-units wide, and the the same in height. It
depends on the photo, or if there's some interesting subtle variation in it.
Some photos have lots more windows. But the underlying scene code does apply the
windows floor-by-floor (and in single-window widths, if that makes sense to
you.)
One small detail I left out: the horizontal rooftops. They have to be
constructed in a different way, because the final building is just a
multi-height_field 'shell' with no innards (and no top!) I haven't arrived at a
good method for that yet ;-) For a simple 4-sided 'box' building, the roof could
likewise be a thin box; but a 'Hilbert-style' building (i.e., one with indents)
would need something more complex.

Hi Kenneth,
jr has asked me to ask you, to drop him an email on the subject. As he
has lost access to the newsgroups.

That would be Hilbert's hotel, then. "Always room for one more."

LOL. Am I glad that I am not a mathematician ;-)
I have seen apartment buildings like that. When you live, say, on the
fifth floor and on the inner court, you live a dismal life with hardly
any daylight. :-/

Just tried to contact him, but his email address is showing up here on the web
interface as
jr <cre### [at] gmailcom>
I'm seeing ### after cre and they don't work. Apparently those hash marks are
substituting for something else. :-( Maybe it's a web-interface vs. newsreader
difference?

Just ran across a very interesting video about the Hilbert Curve.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s7h2MHQtxc
This actually suggests that since a Hilbert curve is a continuous function that
can fill 2D (3d?) that it can be implemented as a pigment pattern.
Perhaps others with more free time can imagine other interesting uses. :)

That's how jr hooked me, with a 3D Hilbert curve. ;-)
You might be able to twist his arm. ☺

Which reminds me: how do you run this utility?
