I've recently been playing around with my rounded prisms macros. As well as
regular polygon rounded prisms, I can now also do irregular polygons and
polyominoes. Here are a few examples. I'll post some SDL when it's fit for
human consumption. :)

The polyomino tesselations were found by a C program I wrote years ago on
the Amiga. I can post it (source & Linux binary) as well, if anyone wants
it.

Look fantastic - could make some great abstract images using these!! Be
great to post the source.  Great work!  Adrian

yes, please post the source - I am looking for some nice tesselations /
Penrose tilings for a garden pavement.

Ok, this one can do regular & irregular polygons and polyominoes, but in a
few days I'll post one that does a better job with polyominoes (after I've
cleaned it up a bit more). The scene file below can do polyo's but they're
not suitable for tiling, since the rounding is added to the outside of the
shape. That's ok for regular polygons, since we can just use scaling to
make them fit together, but for polyominoes the rounding really needs to be
done within the borders of the squares.

Among other things, PM 2Ring saw fit to write:

> Here's another sneak preview of tiled polyominoes:

Would it be possible to have rounded inner corners as well?

I mean, where the polygon is concave, you see a "seam" in the rounded edge,
I guess you need a torus here.

I wrote a macro for this once, with variable radii for each vertex. Never 
quite finished it.

Attached is a demo render, no HDRI, radiosity or checkered floor though, I 
apologize.

Yes, a partial torus would do the job. And the algorithm that finds the
polyomino corners can tell the difference between inner & outer corners.
I've been thinking of adding rounded inner corners, but I'm trying to avoid
using differences & intersections, for efficiency reasons.

I'm looking forward to it. I'll try to post the polyomino version tonight
and the polyomino puzzle solver, too.
