Topological Mesh Modeling
-----------------------------------

quote:
TopMod is a manifold mesh modeling system that includes all the work presented in our Topological Mesh Modeling papers. Using TopMod, you can find a wide variety of ways to create high genus shapes; almost all subdivision algorithms, wide variety of ways to remesh shapes, new extrusions and more. TopMod reads and writes .obj files. Therefore, it is compatible with Maya and other software that accept obj files. The figures here show 3D shapes modelled with TopMod and printed with a rapid prototyping machine.

Upside, it is FREE, very clever, likes OBJ format, exports those with an MTL file.
Downside, it is rather complex, and the site that held its on-line manual is 404...

So far, I've managed to 'save as' its stock dodecahedron as OBJ+MTL...

Yeah, great start !!

I had a bad attack of the post-festive glums, such my body-clock is waaay off GMT and my wits run skew. Barely managed to finish the WIRS_4 sequel I was writing. Was googling for ideas for a #5 when I stumbled upon this geometry program...

Ooh, pretty toys !!
Then I noticed it had [b]useful[/b] export options, flagged it for a check-back...
