Yes, I've been slowly figuring out the applescript.

When I finish I'll make the program public. I need to add a few things and
make it look nicer. But its first generation. When I make a program it
usually goes in cycles where I build my idea, then as I use it I discover
new ways it can be used, so I make another program. The current version has
been usable for about 5 days now and already I've found several new ideas I
want to add. Its not as easy to make symmetrical patterns as the 2D program,
but there's some techniques I may automate into it.

Have you seen those movies of spheres placed along a 3D genetic generated
curve? I think someone from MIT made them and I've seen it on PBS. My
program doesnt do that, but its sorta similar. There's no genetic
algorithms, but you create a curve and then its rendered in POV with spheres
along the curve. So its more of the mirror balls in a raytracer, but if I
can make it easier to keep symmetry it'll be fun.
