Yep, time to dust off Superpaint on the Mac again... ;-) (It lets you have
a bitmap on one layer and an object-oriented drawing object layer on top of
that... Perfect for, uhhh, vector-digitizing.)
On a loosely (very loosely) related subject-- seems like about 10 or so
years back Scientific American had an article on a little algorithm called
"face bender" or something like that. You gave it a vector
characterization of a person's face and it would build a caricature based
on the vector dataset and a "difference" factor. Kind-of morphing without
a texture map I'd say. Anyway, it'd be a kinda cool real-time effect for a
vector display that had enough CPU oomph to pull it off.
