Bruce,
>>I could easily see more desktop CAD/CAM work leading to a marriage of the two
arts. After all, we're only talking about *output* here. One is flat (dye-sub
or video screen) that looks 3d but is easy to mail or carry about. The other
*is* 3D.<<
Good point. If you had two out-put devices, one out-put a flat photo
realistic image, the other out-put a simple but accurate 3D physical model,
which one would you use? Assume both devices took the same time and resources.
