This is really the only way (so say the mathematical theory). Any other way
will be just the same using another "sketching technic". No matter how we
will draw it, we will code it the same,

    Maybe the object will only have alogarithm which will describe its
creation (the language code for it) and the client will decide at which
detail level it should calcualte this code. This also makes life in some way
easier as not the whole object data shoulf be send but only the alogrithm
which creates it (it takes much less size).

Maybe to learn something from MAXScript but making it much more dynamic? I
know started to work and discuss on a scripting language for MindsEye (a 3D
modeler) which will maybe be based on SmallTalk. Maybe SmallTalk is a good
idea, as it is very suitable for 3D enviroments which contains objects.
Because it is _very_ object oriented the code is just staright forward, just
an example of an assumed creation of a sphere:

sp := sphere new: 50 location:haha.com:#(23, 145, 56)
symbolTableLocation:1.5.5 .

this should create a new sphere with the radius 50, put it on the server
haha.com at the location (23, 145, 56) (the location is just an example, it
is surely *not* the way things should be located). And put the spheres
subtree in the location 1.5.5 at the symbol table.
