I'm clueless too funnily enough, I was just hoping there was some way of
converting a POV scene into one large mesh.  I was thinking, convert the POv
into a DXF then to a mesh, ie you're actually simplifying things.  No I dont
think your idea will work sorry, the spheres as a statement are not classed
with polygons (ie triangles) but as perfect spheres making blobs possible,
well I think thats it making a mesh not work.  Any ideas?  On whats going on
here and/or what I am talking about?
