Of course! And borrowing the normals like this will mean the new version
should be smooth looking as well. And this technique should still be viable
for nurbs spheres when I get round to hills. Great.

(hint-normalise) also improved matters a lot. It brings out the lighting a
lot better too and made me re-tweak that. I'd like to suggest this be added
to the manual pdf as right now I can't find it there.

and congrats for your village project. it evolved very nicely in the last

Thanks! I'm happy with it. it's nice to see it grow and also my
Scheme/Fluxus skills reflected in it. I'm going to keep working on this, it
could be a lot more elaborate. Especially the animations could be more
intelligent. As it is it keeps the attention for a few minutes so that's ok
for exhibitions but not so good for 45 minute musical performances. It might
be nice if the world would get "colonised" over the course of a song, with
multiple models for various stages of buildings getting constructed.
Different sounds might lead to a preference for different sorts of
buildings. Of my recent projects it also seems to appeal to most people,
that's of course good too.

Yours,
kas.
