[Opensim-dev] How many sides does a tapered torus have?

[Dahlia Trimble]

a tapered torus which contains no cuts or hollows will have either 2 or 3
texture faces, or "sides", depending on the taper. If the taper results in
one end which converges in a single point then it will have 2 sides. The
taper you describe should result in a prim with 3 texture faces.
