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).
