Before computers it was tough enough to paint or draw in two dimensions, let alone three. But there it is, 3D software, perhaps one of the more popular genres to come about; nevertheless, as much fun as Ray Dream is, it's even more a pleasure animatin' in Ray Dream Studio.    At the time, I thought what could be easier than lathing a freehand pipe (smoking pipe, that is, as in tobacco). Was I ever mistaken! Nevertheless, I found the concept of designing my own pipes to be fascinating (especially with a suitable pseudo-history):

Argo: The pipe of Ulysses My first "natural" texture pipe The star of Finland A classy photo rendering Pipe of the ax A rough-hewn freehand Head Ransom Egil Skallagrimsson's pipe Pohjolan tytär A woman's pipe (with jewelry) Odin's spear A weapon of a pipe Leonardo Da Vinci Discovery of a masterpiece Starships Smoke the universe in style
