this is a real head eck i need a chamferbox whit multiple buttons on the sides buttons are "smothed" and placed iregulari over the sides now i need to bend the hole object in some direction on some axis i think whit beizer patches it will not work or i not realy save anything in comparison to singel triangles my problem is lets say i have this --- ||| __- | || so the first row is 3 patches the 2. 2 pathces now if i bend this i think i will get holes betwean the 2 rows ?! if some one tells me how to place images here i coud show better what i mean

sorry my bad writing but writing is realy hard to me :(


first picture is illustrating a chamferbox at least thats how its called in 3dsmax

next one is how it shoud by bend in this case on the Z axis but coud by any
the edges are curently not made in this version

next pic shows 10 triangles

woud they by beizer quads and i woud bend this on the Z axis
i am afraid i woud get gaps betwean the 2 rows

the 4. pic shows a simplyfied 2d view how a button shoud look from the side


on each side coud by any amount of buttons whit any size

i try to figure out how to construct this object

coud i i woud pre model it

but as said the buttons can by any where of any size
so i woud need an endless amount of pre made meshes
(both 3d meshes are created whit shaders the 1. in a cumpute shader point by point the second half in compute half in geometri shader
this just by the side)

beizer pathces are deprecated ?
the hoole tesselation is build on them if i am not absolutly totaly wrong !?!?

sundivision is also not the problem at least i dont think so

by the beizer patches where i am unsure is
if i hawing the set up like shown in the pic
2 row, in the first 6 triangles, in the second 4
woud i "bend" this like i did in the right top of the pic
i woud get gaps betwean the 2 rows




curently the only way i see is to have equal sided triangles
to prevent this

in theory i think it shoud by manageable whit a beizer patch
i am just not sure how complicated it woud by


an other problem is
lets say i have a big BOX and now i wana place an other smaler box on its side
and make one mesh out of the 2
points from the smale box laying inside of the big BOX needs to by eleminated
and i need to remodel / reconnect anything
ilustraded here (this is 3dsmax)-->



i not realy know how to make out of the top 4 objects one single object

i think you are right will start an other one in the math section

and try to collect my thoughts what i need

i think i was looking for some general way to construct meshes
wich wont exist
