About a week ago I started creating a toilet model in pov-ray (yes,
I know it's been done, but I wanted my own toilet :) via a text editor.
I did not want to use a modeller because I'd be able to move things
around better (I suppose I could make peices of it in a modeller, but
the scaling may be off, etc. Besides, I like CSG). The problem I have
encountered is the smoothing of the edges. Now, I know I can use a
superellipsoid for the tank and tank lid, but what about the seat and
the top of the base? Using cylinders and such makes the edges very sharp
(OUCH!) and I am wondering how might one go about smoothing them
out? Superellipsoinds can't do rounded cylinder shapes (or can they?) so
I am kind of stuck
I thought about using CSG of the difference of a square and the side of
a cylinder, and using that and differencing that with another object,
but that would only make a mold for a straight-edge.
Any ideas?
