I should probably just post this on the V6 requests thread in the
Forum , but not everyone goes there (yet!) . Anyway , 10 years ago
I used a really awesome modeling tool in Imagine on the Amiga .

  It was a "Magnetism Tool" that you could just bring close to the
mesh and it would automatically push/pull the mesh within it's
radius of influence . This made modeling an absolute breeze , and
I'm sure it's being used somewhere in some SDS or nurbs modeling
app's somewhere .

   It was really great and there was none of this "select this face
but that not that one" or "only these points but not those points"
etc etc etc . It was really fun .

  It might even be in RS3D but , again , I can't find it . As a
matter of fact , we had a beta version of something like it from
Andy Jones (I think [or maybe it was Kelly Brock]) in V3.53 .

   There was an ancient freeware modeller called "Blob Modeller"
that had this function too . Ton's O' Fun !

   If there's one thing I hate it's modeling , but back in those
Amiga Imagine days it was a lot of fun to play with the magnetism
tool and create interesting shapes with different settings .
