TILER_C_3D - 3D Transfinite Interpolation

TILER_C_3D is a simple-minded sample application of transfinite interpolation, used to "tile" a 3D box that has already been subdivided into sub-boxes. A simple "tile pattern" of a tetrahedron is used, and the resulting object is written out as a "TRI" triangle file, and then converted to "IV" Inventor form using the IVREAD 3D graphics file converter.

TILER_3D is really a demonstration of the blending routines available in BLENDC.
