 Unfortunatly I am not too adept at writing triangle construction scripts
so that rules out that option. The object bender is still an option I
have not overlooked but would like to avoid this too as I plan to create
possibly hundreds of duplicates and the parse time MAY be unnaceptable.
I have no experience with that particular inc file but have heard that
it is prohibitavly slow if the radius of the bend is excessive. A candy
can has a bend that exceeds 180 degrees which borders on excessive.
