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!
