A quick study of Marco Vanuci´s work on recursive surface tessellations . I have been working with recursive algorithms before but only to generate aggregation systems and fractals ,I like this particular exercise because it executes a recursive function under an analysis . The script evaluates the curvature of a surface and depending on the degree of it; the code executes a subdivision function, that means that whereas the surface is flat and homogeneous the subdivision grid is large ; where the surface curvature is steeper the subdivision grid gets partitioned in smaller parts.
Once I understand how the script worked I just made a little tweaks to the code generate some structural elements.
