I am starting to have a fascination with Constructive solid geometry images
I wondering if the is a community that talk abouts CSG images for art purposes?

CSG in itself is only a technique for modelling geometry. I think
most people coming from the artistic side are more interested in the
end result than the technique used. In that case a discussion on CSG
is more focused on the technical aspects (how could I model a shape
that looks like this / why doesn't this work as expected).

On the other hand, CSG is heavily used in the POV-Ray community, and
if you're looking for purists that take an interest in images created
without using a mesh modeller this is not the worst place to post ;)

If you wish to share or discuss an image you rendered feel free
to post it to povray.binaries.images.

thanks, the Art style I keep think of is
* MAGI/Synthavision
* Tron (1982)
* Worm War I (1982) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCfJhs5XymU
but I on the flip side I also like low-polygon modeling like snes Starfox
