The funny thing is, it's not *that* hard...
Ever read Rudy Rucker's "Hacker and the Ants"? I liked the "cheap" version
of the 3D interfaces:
A 3D screen, with glasses. Several inches off the desk so you reach under
and behind it. Gloves that track where your hands are so the computer can
draw them on the screen where your hands really are. Peizo buzzers in the
fingertips and palms so you can tell when you're squeezing something. A
barstool where the footrest ring will turn when you kick it, signaling to
the computer as if you're spinning in your seat so the computer can draw
from a different angle.
Sounded *totally* doable.

What about povray's blob2 patch? Would this make for nicer-looking organic
structures? Is this lost in some dead patch to pov?

sure. Feel free to code and debug your abstract organism while we draw existing
ones with a tablet. :)

But where's the fun if you use exactly the right tool for the job to be
finished in 15 mins ... anyone can do that! :-)

It's possible to make an animatable blob or mesh2 figure which povray
procedurally generates.

I have as much fun drawing as coding. ;)
