I originally wrote FOT so that I could use some of the Sculpt 3D objects to test VideoScape 1.10, and so that the routines could be incorporated in Modeler 3D (and also so I could use some of those neat geodesic spheres that Sculpt makes). By the way I think that the recent trend of sharing object databases (like the Teapot and Space Shuttle) is great. I did a nice HAM animation of the teapot as a test of VideoScape 1.10. For those interested, version 1.10 should be shipping in a few weeks (people who already have VideoScape will probably get it first - it's a $10 or possibly free upgrade). I hope this clears up any confusion... - Allen Hastings
