>>DISPLACE… Some amazing posibilities with this one. I made some fantastic morphing monstrosities with a random spherical map "pusher". So many posibilities, so little time… BTW, did you see the article on CyberMesh, a Photoshop plug-in that does bitmap displacement modeling (NewMedia, June, pg 89)? They report an interesting hole-cutting option which allows black pixels to cut holes in the mesh. They said the renderer was "exceptionally fast", but noted that it was "fun to watch the shaded preview build from the back to the front". <g> Everyone's getting into the act, or trying to!
