That sounds like this page I found once... http://arch.ced.berkeley.edu/kap/background/Campanile/sather1.htm The guy is into kite photography (and has some really nice pictures), but used some kite pictures and a geometric model and some software to make a 'fly-through'. Check out some of the movies on the page above. Very cool. -Rob _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
