First prototype for a bunch of 28mm figures I intend to have printed.

Comments welcome.

I first thought blobs, but more probable cones/cylinders and spheres, 
right?

Chess figures?

Linear sphere sweeps in this case actually, but only to get me started 
without the math, and I'm currently busy with the transition cones & 
spheres.

Say, does anyone happen to know, off the top of their head, the formula 
for a plane tangent to three spheres?

No; guess what pattern I'd have used for the plane in that case :-P.

RPG figures it is.

Now that I've come up with a suitable formula I've indeed transitioned 
to cones & spheres, with the odd triangular insert here and there; much 
happier with the feet and sholders now. I also modified the head and 
tweaked the textures a bit. I think I actually like it now.

I think it's time to give the little brave fellow a name now - "Conen" 
will do nicely I guess :-P
