Geodesic Spheres

Code Snippets
3

Here’s a snippet of code where I use my routine:

        sphere = makeGeodesicSphere(4, 500, [1,1,1,1], 'TestSphere')
        testSphereNode = render.attachNewNode('TestSphereNode')
        testSphereNode.attachNewNode(sphere)
        testSphereNode.setPos(0,0,1005)

I will explain the makeGeodesicSphere call’s arguments:

4 = level of recursion.

500 = scale. This determines the radius of the sphere.

[1,1,1,1] = Color information. RGB + intensity

‘TestSphere’ = name of the Geom object you are getting back.

Also be sure that you are importing the math module, as the routines make use of trig functions.
