   Well let me just say that I believe many women are proportioned
very nicely, bless their little hearts, while others could benefit
from some serious rescaling efforts ;^ }

Thanks to all those who replied to my 2D question (and others)...
I'm certain, among all those great replies, I can find my answer !

 -----------------------------------------------------------------

  Here is my  M E S H  question:

  I haven't tried a "mesh object" yet... which seems to be able to
render any non-regular shape defined by...ummm... by what though ?  :)

  I'm assuming you need to write in the basic points defining  your
object... AND... tell it how smoothly or roughly to fill the spaces
in-between these defining points... am I close ?  

  I will look more carefully at the manual...but so far haven't seen
how these factors would be written in.

A mesh is simply a way of storing many triangles more efficiently.
Instead of #declaring a union of triangles, and having each copy use as
much memory as is needed to store the triangles(which can mean a lot of
memory with many triangles) you #declare a mesh, and copies of that mesh
only use enough memory to refer to that mesh.
In other words, a mesh is simply a union customized for storing large
numbers of triangles.

Agreed, my wife for one, a scale of <1.15,1.15,1.15> would make her
about 5' 6 1/4"
And yes, I did mean a uniform scale. [i.e the proportions are actually
fine until you place her next to other nearby
objects^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hpeople.]

And then there's Christine, who could really use a <0.3,1,0.3>...

Have Fun
