Well, it might.  Though I'm not sure what the advantage is over tracing a
POV-Ray generated heightfield.  I don't [currently] see how it gets me any
greater resolution, more reliable "sensing" or measuring, or more information
about the toothed edge of the gear.

But I do thank you for throwing the thought out there - they are always helpful
in some way, at some point.

Need to throw $1000 into my car, so I was busy with that over the weekend.  :(
