    I wish..  :-)  Theres a reason why it's laying on a cylinder, ya know..
:-)

    Basically, I can generate flat peices,including angular ones, or ones
that 'revolve' themselves around a given point in space.  In this case, they
are actually two peices.  One revolving 1/4 around the origin (center of the
cylinder), and another 1/4 around <12, 0, 0>.  If I only had the time to
work on things such as collision detection.  :-(  It'd be sweet if I could
take a sheet and 'drape' it over things.  Then I wouldn't spend so much time
thinking about getting the placement just right for my IRTC image..  :-)
I'm attempting to do a Paladin from the Crusades..
