How do I use Vansickle's SSS? I just don't get it. The explanations at the
site seem lacking. There isn't really any set procedure or series of simple
steps. Could somebody please explain why this following code parses and
parses, but never goes anywhere, yet seems to consume little memory (quick
exit)? What am I doing wrong? Did I omit some important step? This is only
the result of guessing...
#include "sss.inc"
#debug "Reading in mesh....\n"
ReadPCM("rock2.pcm")
#debug "Done...............\n"
#debug "Preparing mesh.....\n"
PrepMesh() <-- it gets stuck here...
#debug "Done...............\n"
#debug "Dividing mesh......\n"
Divide(1)
#debug "Done...............\n"
#debug "Writing new mesh...\n"
WriteSmoothPCM("rock3.pcm",5)
#debug "Done...............\n"

How many triangles are in the first file? PrepMesh() can take a very
long time if there are a lot of them.

So, you're saying that I did it correctly? There are 20480 triangles in the
original (generated by your make.inc @ 5 splits). The 'forever' parsing was
about 1.5 hours, after which I cancelled it.

You weren't kidding, were you? I left it parsing overnight. It went on for
about 5.5 hours!!! But, in the end, I had my new, perfected mesh (81920
triangles, IIRC). =) I'll be posting the new rock shortly. Thank you.

The tests of the SSS used far smaller meshes (around 200 or so).
The PrepMesh() macro is by far the slowest of the macros; the rest
don't suffer from the n-squared rule.

Oh, others have gotten it worse...
