Cool. OK, doing a 640x480 rendering now....
While we're all virtually waiting, I'd like to know how long it took you to
create the dat file, and your assesment of the difficulty of doing so.
It does look pretty good in LDlite, which is a plus.
OK, done. First, I must say that the uncompressed spring shows some obvious
imperfections. The coils are noticeably "V" shaped on the outer side. And the
tight section at the bottom appears as multiple flat faces. <sigh>
The compressed version looks about the way I would expect. Not terrible, but
the cross-section limitations seen in the uncompressed version are aggravated
by the the scaling. Makes the coil appear very flat.
Now, tossing this up to a temp directory on Hugin.... (semi-real time
operations - what fun!)
tick... tick.... ding!

Thanks, Manfred,
