I am trying to find some way of "drawing" a 3D object that looks like the
T1000 in "Terminator 2".  I am doing this on the Mac, and hopefully, the
software that is used will save files in a form readable by "StrataVision
3D".  StrataVision has a tool which forms a Bezier (?) surface over cross
sections of an object which one inputs, but this doesn't look good.  And I
don't know how else to put a surface on a series of cross-sections.  The
StrataVision manual has an example illustration which shows a (female)
human face, which looks pretty good.  Unfortunately, they don't say
anything about who made it or how.

Also, any StrataVision users out there who have a human skin texture?

I'm playing with Strata this summer for the Resident Lighting Designer here
at Cornell's Theatre Arts Center.  He would like to be able to use Strata
as a design tool.

Thanks muchly in advance.
