...hmmm, I don't think I'm getting this hooked up correctly: at best,
I simply get a kind of animation of a rectangle moving in the x direction...do you think you could send a patch? Here's a simplistic sketch of what I'm trying to do:
cube cube cube cube cube cube cube cube cube
...so we basically have a "rectangle" made out of "cubes", and have the
ability to change the properties of individual cubes, at least through
some kind of general function (say, apply a sin() to the size of the cubes)...
Ben Bogart is someone to talk to about this. He's done similar patches using quads and spheres to make grids etc. He might even be on this list. I think he's reachable at bbogart@ryerson.edu still.
