Default SweetPotato Modeller

Something I've been working on...
http://kolis.dyndns.org/ed/prog/sweetpotato/index.html

It's going to be sort of like DoGA, only no animation, but you will be able to assign multiple colors to a single part... and I think there's a Java-based boolean operations library out there, as well as a .X exporter, so it might even be useful for SE5, if I ever finish it

/me heats up the sweet potato and tosses it to Kolis.

Why? Narf. Narf is a good reason.

But not as good a reason as meat. Meat is better than Narf.

Ed, looks like a good start.

Well, like I said, there's surely an .X exporter for Java3D out there somewhere, and if there is, I intend to use it

Mmmm... sweet potato.

Take two large sweet potatos. Peel, boil and drain them. Add in a large spoonful of your favourite butter/margarine and the juice and pulp of one lemon. Mash until smooth.

Goes nicely with grilled meat/ fish.

Yum.

Hmm, my mom likes to bake sweet potatoes like regular potatoes, then top them with margarine, rosemary, and brown sugar...

Hey, Ed Kolis is still working on this! He talks about it on the IRC channel. So be quiet

Aww... yeah, sort of... but I decided to do something even better, remember - I wrote a DirectX exporter plugin for Art of Illusion
Now all I need is some help with the 3D->2D texture baking algorithm for that plugin...
