Hi Michael
I am very interested in doing this, however i am not a genius in programming,
its a hobby (together with lego of course) not a profession.
It could take a while before things are going. But if you have the patience...
I really have to jump into this. I can program a bit in Delphi. So that's what
i will use. Still do not know what a z-buffer is and how i can make a
plug in, etc...
I use often ps files for my work. And It seems to me that all the faces are
processed. The top face (the one you want to see) will appear at the end
of the process.
