To fix the problem depicted above, the number of
sidesonthetwocylinderswaschangedfrom18to
30 and the number of segments on the torus was
changed from 24 to 36. The following illustration
shows the improved result:
Increasing the primitives’ resolution fixes the problem.
Problem #2: Triangles along boundaries caused
by conflicts with visible edges from original mesh
