[Visualpython-users] Help for desiging a space i n Vpython.

[Tom M. <mun...@st...>]

I am new to Python and Vpython, but have really been impressed with what
I can do so simply.  Instead of writing a "hello world" program, I
tweaked the random boxes demo program and created a grid to indicate a
space.  One thing lead to another, and I am working up a whole scheme
called ProtoSpace.  http://www.givingspace.org/protospace and the
program is at  http://www.givingspace.org/protospace/space01.py 

I want to add agents, called Angels, which will fly around the space.
Does anyone know of an Angel figure, a cute little cherub figure with
flapping wings, that I could show flying around the space?  I'd like to
also "lock on" to the angel, mounting the camera on the angels' back,
showing an angel's-eye view of the space.  The wings would be visible,
but transparent, so as to not block the view.

I don't really need a high res image, I suppose I could use a sphere
instead, but I am demonstrating this idea next week and would like to
spruce it up a little.  

Any help or pointers to anything related to this would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks...
