Burhop Piccard AKA Mark Burhop
I'm not all the creative but my math and programming skills are top notch. So I throw together some parametric equations and count on my wife for the artistic ideas.
I'm very interested in bringing external geometry into Second Life and other virtual worlds. I'm a little fustrated with the current functionality and hope to improve it in future generations. I'd really like to see Parasolid or ACIS like BREP support given its much stronger match to real world geometry (but realize its a tricky balance between speed and functionality).
I wrote Math Sculptor, an application and framework for creating sculpted prims. You can download it at http://mark.burhop.net. There is much better sculpty software out there but i did learn some clever things while doing this.
I'm the member of several groups including the AWG and Sculptie Dev
In particular, I have some ideas on geometry to better support future tools and formats. You can read it here: [1] Geometry based Architectural View]
