I'm interesting in putting together a sculpting system using 3d graphics.
The system would do for 3d shapes what MacPaint does for 2d drawings.
Does anyone have suggestions as to hardware and software that can be
bought or copied?  Also, I'm a little stuck on how to do depth queueing.
There are several approaches, e.g., stereo, 3d display devices, various
shading approaches, but none I've thought of seem adequate, fast,
and inexpensive.
