Generates the shapes and then serializes them to a JSON file with a list of
|
|
|
|
|
vertices (`positions`) and a list of triangle faces (`cells`) that index into
|
|
|
|
|
the list of vertices. Suitable for input into [Three.js's
|
|
|
|
|
BufferGeometry](https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/core/BufferGeometry) or
|
|

|

[regl](https://github.com/regl-project/regl/blob/gh-pages/example/camera.js).

Icosahedrons can be generated significantly faster than Three.js's version in
|
|
|
|
|
JavaScript (which I pretty much copied into Rust).

|
Trunacated icosahedrons (I call them hexspheres) are a bit slower to generate
|
|
|
|
|
since they are made by generating a icosahedron and then subdividing it into

hexagon and pentagon faces.

When rendering hexspheres of detail level 5 and higher and icosahedrons of
|
|
|
|
|
detail level of 7 and higher in WebGL, make sure to enable the
|
|
|
|
|
[`OES_element_index_uint`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OES_element_index_uint)
|
|
|
|
|
extension since the number of vertices might overflow the normal int index.
