> High order bits:
> * Sketch based modeling ---> TPainter !
> * "simple" animation  ---> Marks robot animation functions - havent
> others done something with animation and the sketched mesh's ?
> * "World" creation and sharing --->  C3D "repository" !
> * Multi-user ("micro-group" to support 3-4 users) ----> Yay !

> Obviously I like the "educational themed" worlds ... perhaps STEM
> based ... perhaps to encourage grant funding ! But I love the "Powered
> By Kids" sting Shidonni is strumming here (despite its glaring
> limitations - only being 2D, among several others).
