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.
