In this post I will present three equivalent algorithms to compute the edges of a polygonal mesh. The algorithms are subsequent optimization steps to produce the exact same result with progressively increased efficiency. In the first part of this text, I will describe the typical representation of a mesh topology, distinguish between different concepts of edges. To better define the subject, picture the wireframe of a polygonal mesh. Assuming there is no overlapping geometry in the scene, if yo

What if you could make your dice any shape at all—not just boxes and polyhedra, but dragons or other game-relevant shapes? Most people are familiar with conventional cubical six-sided dice, but there are also polyhedral versions like the 20-sided dice used in ancient Rome and to play Dungeons and Dragons. Researchers have figured out how to design dice with even more exotic shapes, like a kitten, a dragon, or an armadillo. And they are "fair" dice: Experiments with 3D-printed versions produced

2025 I have a confession: while I love cooking, I hate prepping ingredients. I know, knife skills are an important thing for any home chef to possess, and I do work on it. But the truth is I’m slow, my cuts aren’t super consistent, and I find it really tedious. In short, food processors are made for people like me, but while I’ve used them at my mom’s and other people’s places, I’ve never owned one myself, largely because I didn’t think I could find a place for it in my small kitchen. The Brevi

Throughout the last 30 years of my life, I've played Dungeons and Dragons. Not every day, but it's never far from my mind, and I know the same is true for a lot of us. For nearly 50 years, people have gathered around a table and woven stories of magic, monsters and derring-do, rolling shiny math rocks (dice) to decide the fate of their adventuring party. D&D fifth edition tells us it can be played purely in the "theater of the mind," with only the best D&D books and some dice needed, but if you
