Hi David,
Wouldn't this be great for all 3D modelers. I'm sure it will happen soon
... there's such a need for it in university labs ... art and science. I'll
pass this on to some of my colleagues.
Thanks lots, Chuck Henry

Actually that sounds ideal for Cell. Waves and spheres can fit as formulas
without needing high memory accesses, meaning Cell can run at full pelt.
Mercury technologies have an imaging system sped up some 40-50x using
Cell.

There's talk of making Cell available to PCs via a PCI-Express card...

Whether that comes to anything or not, in 5 years time the availability of
ultra-high speed maths engines should be common and cheap in one form or
other.
