Hi,
   I've devellopped a little povray script that traces the surface of a 
given object.  It outputs the result as XYZ coordinates of points along 
the surface of the object.

   I can then read that file and draw an OpenGL scene with that object 
in it...

   Here's how i proceded:

I scan the object from x=-1 to x=1 and from z=1 to z=-1 at a given 
precision.

At each XZ point I trace from y=1 to y=-1 to find a surface of the 
object and record every hit I get, when I get a surface hit, I trace 
again starting from that exact vector down to y=-1.

Currently, I simply ignore a point with vector value of <0,0,0>.

My problem is that the scan I get is kind of scaled oddly...

You must see pictures sent on povray.binary.images to fully understand 
what I'm trying to say...

Thanks for any info!
   Xilo
