Thanks!

Yes, i can imagine that. I've already written a prog to do fourier-analysis
of sound-files, and spent quite some time filtering around and such, was fun
:)

currently i use one series for all 3 axis(es?), so the shapes are always
symmetrical. but that is just for ease of use while testing. If i use
distinct series for each axis with combined sine and cosine parts there are
no restrictions how the object may look like.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome JPEG-3D!

Seriously, why not? Break up the scene into voxels, then analyze each
voxel separately. It'd be interesting to see how 3D JPEG artifacts
will look.

Does this imply the possibility of applying DSP techniques like band-pass
filtering and convolution to the output data sets?  I have no problem with
this in the 1-D and 2-D world so shall I assume that we could, given
sufficient memory and CPU, be able to form spatially smoothed objects by using
a low-pass digital filter to the output from the fourier transform?

I think this is a fairly common technique, actually.

  I think that the Fourier series definition is more general than that.
IIRC it was something like: Every function can be represented with the
addition of any two orthogonal functions (sin and cos are just one example
of an orthogonal function pair).

I'd like to synthesize tones from the same parameters; very simple with
additive synthesis. Do you plan to release the code for this work? Very
interesting indeed.

I would also like to see this code.  Could have lots of fun playing around!

Sure, i will release the code if someone is interested, but at the moment
the code is just experimental and not very well structured. I wanted to
post a final version as a nice .inc-file but if u like i can post what i
have so far.

ok, i just posted the source in p.b.s-f.
have fun with it
