| Mar 9, 2011 at 16:49 | comment | added | user744 | @Macke: Quadratic as in "quadratic equation", not quadratic as in "quadrilateral". It doesn't use quads but rather a quadratic curve defined by 9 points. stason.org/TULARC/pc/3d-graphics-cards-faq/… | |
| Mar 9, 2011 at 15:23 | comment | added | Macke | Somewhat related, The NVidia NV1 used quadtratic texture mapping (which uses quads), instead of triangles/polygons. It was not big hit, to say the least. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NV1. | |
