Some things I made for a quentum mechanics project/website.

Incredible simple, but I think it looks rather nice...

That's rendered by POV? Wow... Very realistic!

Simple!?? NO! Those buttons look perfect. I have never yet figured out
how to model them. You've done the impossible. Can I have the code?

I love it, simple indeed and yet very stylish. Bravo!

Maybe.. I hate to dissapoint everyone, but the keys were modelled in
Rhino.

The trick is that the top surface of the key is not flat, but
cylindrically concave in the vertical direction. This makes a workd of
difference.

I'm sure the CSG expers out there can work out the filleting in POV.

Forget about CSG...do it with isosurfaces. ;-)
Actually, may not be too difficult...

That's a great iso-key, Tor!

I tried to make a computer keyboard early in 1998 and never finished it.  No
characters on the keys or any
LEDs.  All CSG, it didn't look so good at the distance shown in the attached image.

I wish that I could have patience to model things like these.
