Yes, they are awesome... and, according to his homepage, he is studying
engineering, so he's a good deal more into math than we both... but I
hope we can catch up sooner or later!
Nevertheless, in the coming weeks I will start a new sub-section in my

several preliminary renderings... and then we'll have to wait and see!
See you in Khyberspace!
