hmm, looked easy to me ;)
When hand-coding complex CSGs, it really, really, really, really helps to
know your math!

Well well... Yes, Tor Olav managed to make a real nice Iso-key...
Something I couldn't have done.. I tried some time ago..
Anyway, ISO's are slow, especially if one wants a whole key-board. And I
still would say, Simon de Vet's keys are the best... So, Simon, can we
talk you into sharing the Rhino-mesh with us? If you made a good
transfer it might be a small file.. :o)
I mean, now the key have been modelled, it is not necessary that I
struggle to model a similar one..

It's incredibly realistic! At the first glance I thought that it was a photo
(and I like the idea, too).
Very good
