I do agree that your 'new' aproach to modeling is interesting. I also agree on the 'mathematics can be fun' statement on your website. But... I must admit I feel kinda weird about this development. Genius programmers around the world have developped software that allows us to model both ways; either freely in a virtual 3D space, dragging points and polygons with our mouse; or mathematical by numerics, adjusting point and poly positions on a numeric basis. Either way, they made sure we could focus on modeling cool stuff without having to worry about the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent and the other -angents. That's actualy why computers where developped, to take care of those calculations for us... Don't get me wrong, I do think this is a cool idea that may become a new way of modeling in certain areas like medical stuff or nasa projects, where mathematical accuracy is crucial, but as a self proclaimed 'artist' that goes by his intuition, creativity and often cheer old providence while creating stuff, this kind of modeling would kinda take the fun out of it... Anyhow, I sincearely wish you all the best with your project! Mike
