Looking for small, impressive 3D-related Python script

[Michael Schneider]

Ken,

I would suggest that you embed python in your app (very easy to do).

-And convert several of your existing scripts to python.

-Show them a stack of python books for customer training purposes

- Drive excel with python (allows integration of your product with other 
products.

- Pick an area of functionality that your product offers today that your
customer would like to customize.

	- convert this alg to python
	- hack you product to execute the python script
	- code a variant of the alg in python
	- execute your variant to demonstrate that python can lower custom 
development cost, and provide points of extensibility


Have fun,
good luck,
Mike
