Michael,

These results are astonishing!

Representing 3D surfaces with 2D projections while leaving as little ambiguity as possible about the curvature is what got me to try MoI. Your latest work looks like it goes a great deal of the way toward automating that task. Frankly, I doubted that such a thing was possible.

Do the hatch lines follow the local geometry of the parts (like uv), or are they partially determined by world (xyz) coordinates? For example, what would the results look like for a coil spring (attached)?

Also attached is a pdf (5 pages) illustrating my application and showing some hatching I did using MoI. I eagerly await hearing whether your experiment might lead in that direction.
