My first question, however, is one of motivation -- what made you pick that particular primitive? Your rationale in the introduction seems highly contrived. You mention the medical uses in numerous places but assumedly know that a mathematical heart primitive has absolutely no relation whatsoever to a medially-relevant heart model? The last observation is that the first half of your schedule is somewhat "weak". How do you plan on evaluating a line (a ray) against that sextic equation? I don't even know if our polynomial root solver is stable at that high a degree and if it's not, you could spend the entire summer trying to just get one to render correctly. My gut says strip out all of the coding work you list as planned for the second half and focus on implementing the first half completely/correctly (with documentation, testing, user hooks, etc). If you happen to get it all working quickly and early, that'll be a good problem to have. > While awaiting your speedy response, I remain your brother . This is a very odd thing to say... Many siblings do not get along. :) Cheers!
