Hi Art, I'm glad you've got a good result!

The "polygonal look" in the silhouette is a normal display artifact. Surfaces are actually drawn by internally converting them to triangles and then displaying the triangles. There aren't quite enough polygons being generated in that particular area for it to make a smoother looking display.

Various parts of the display engine are more tuned to having a fast display instead of having perfect quality so some kinds of display artifacts including this one are just normal and should just be ignored.

In the future at some point I would like to generate a denser mesh on a background thread that's adapted to the current view which would help with this. That will be fairly complex to set up so I'm not sure when that will happen.

Right on, thank you for the detailed reply. I figured it was something related to the code.
