Mike,

Would like to take a look a your stargate model. I've been working on my own,
using CSG and converted meshes using POVRay and Moray but have not been getting
to far with work demands. I've completed (to my own satisfaction anyway) a
proportional chevron model, if you care to see it. Is on my home computer so I
will upload tonight.

I would like to see your source/code/file, if you don't mind.

I also currently have a 3ds low-res and hi-res version downloaded from
scifi-meshes.com (see previous posts)
