Bathsheba, the Rhinoceros, and Google Earth


Santa Cruz artist/craftsperson Bathsheba Grossman uses Rhinoceros and SLS (selective laser sintering of metals) to produce sculptures of mathematical concepts. Unique and wonderful.

And McNeel has developed an export plug-in for Rhinoceros to save out KML and KMZ files with geolocation. This completes a comprehensive model/presentation software group consisting of Rhino-SketchUp-Google Earth, plus any competent image editor for textures.
