Hello,

I have an away3d issue that is totally stumping me.

I have a sphere that is made of triangles. It is super easy to subdivide each of those triangles into four smaller, equilateral triangles because there is a ‘quarterFaces’ method.

But here’s the stickler: I need to subdivide it into 9 equilateral triangles. 4 just doesn’t produce the shape I need.

If anyone has any interest in helping me with this, I’ll totally post all my code. But I’m doubting that anyone will ('cause this is a bit obsure [isn’t it?]).

Anyway, thanks for you attention.

T
