I have a little time on my hands, and I am considering taking up one of
the following projects:

- a POV Plane/rocket wing/fin designer
- a POV sphere heightfield mesh maker

Would there be any interest in either of these products?  Have they
already been done?

Of course I can only do Windows 32 bit, not DOS, MAC, Cray, BEOS...

Of the two I would pick the second one. There is an old dos program from John
Beale at:

http://shell3.ba.best.com/~beale/gforge/

that would do that but it would be nice to see an updated vesion of it.
The first utiity might be useful as well if you get the time.

Doesn't Leveller do spherical heightfield mesh making?  If it doesn't
Bryan, I can give you a bit of a leg up on the project if you are
interested.  I've done it with Bezier Patches but never finished since I
was under the impression that this was already done in the new
Leveller..

I thought Leveller did it as well but so far the only plug in alternatives
are for cylindrical and not spherical HF's.

Well then, let me know if you want to view my code.  It is in C++ and
the spherical mapping is pretty well commented...I never took the time
to figure out how to read TGA's (I know it isn't hard, but with two
semester projects in different CS classes, I don't have time, besides, I
can't read half of my code anymore) but it should give you a jump.  Let
my know Bryan

(I know Ken doesn't want it... He proves his non-programmerness every
time he fails to indent)

And an indentation of 1 character is of course way too small...

Well, I posted the message and have forgotten to check out the answers.

1. Yes, I think I will do the sphere heightfield mesh maker, but I am having
trouble finding the math for doing it.
2. I indent so much that my tab settings are at 2 characters.
3. Any program I create would be a Win32 application, and due to Y2K
concerns, it may not be ready until spring of 1900.

:)
