Indeed. hmmm.... Do you think a similar technique will let me bound water in
a bicubic patch fountain I made in spatch?

I have been playing with this all week but I don't know a lot about bicubic
patches. However, so long as there are no problems with bicubic patches and
CSG there should be no problem. Of course, you will need to know the shape of
the space your fountain is fitting into but hey, you designed it.
Let me know if you have any success - This could be useful for some ideas of my
own.

Well it was an attempt to to make a bowel in sptach (before I started
messing with lathes in povray) so it's circular with a flat bottom and as it
turns out a cone like thing in the middle. I could probably re-do it as a
union of lathes but doing csg on bicubit patches shouldn't be a problem
since most spatch models are actually unions of several bi-cubic patches.
