Experimental:Box POP

Summary

The Box POP creates 6-sided boxes. The box can have 8 points - one at each corner with each face sharing a point with two other faces. Or the box can have 24 points with each of the 6 faces using 4 unique points (Unique Points toggle parameter).

Where the box has 8 points, the user can choose to have vertex normals or primitive normals, which renders the cube "faceted" (flat-looking). Or the user can choose point normals (or no normals) which will make corners look non-faceted.

The Connectivity menu allows for no primitives to be output (just points) (None), or the points connected with 4-point Quadrelaterals (quads) or 3-point Triangles, or output one Point Primitive for every point.

The box can have optional rounded corners with control over radius and the amount of subdivision at the corners.

Texture coordinates can be created with different placement - per-face, or one cube map that is wrapped over all the faces, etc. Point or vertex colors can be applied.

The Anchor parameters can determine what part of the cube is at 0, 0, 0.

The box can be post-translated/rotated.
