  I didn't do them for fun although the symetery and geometric shape
of them facinates me.

  I decided one day some time ago that if I was going to become skilled
with this program it was time to go back to the very beginning and learn
all of the different things one can do with simple primitives. These last
two images are a result of planned experiments with the cone object. I
have similar files for the box, sphere, cylinder, disc, and torus objects
as well. Cones are really more versitle than I would have ever guessed
had I not spent time learning to control their position, size, and general
behaviour.

  The objects in the first image were created from just 4 cones and one
box or sphere. In the second image they are made from four cones only !!!
See if you can figure out how I accomplished that little trick.

Hint: CSG
