Well the wing itself isn't supposed to deform so we're good! :P

Seriously funny seeing this after trying repeatedly to retopologize simple objects, but making myself stick to quads to build the skills and "poly-perception"...It's truly maddening and un-fun lol.

Thanks for linking that site further down, by the way. :D

Turns out when you optimize something for millennia, the truly optimal solution is not a simple grid. That picture is essentially a proof that engineering will always be needed. Because any final solution is complex. Even if it's parts are trivial.

Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We encourage sillyness, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged, but keep it in good faith and never punch down.
