Thanks.  I will take a look at those and study how you accomplish that.  Both
look nice.

My immediate goal is to change the definition of the pieces so the edges between
adjacent cubies are less rounded.  The current definition is the union of
rounded cubes.  But when adjacent cubes are in the same piece the boundary
between them should instead look like a shallow ditch was routed in the surface.
 Also, when three cubes form an L or elbow the interior angle should just be
flat.  The idea being that then these will look more like pieces that were
milled from some solid substance, instead of being a bunch of cubes glued
together.

Thanks again,
Frank B
