Hello Everyone!

The 2006 Christmas project is a moonlit field of snow with gently
falling snowflakes. The snowflakes are actual images of snowflakes
mapped onto polygons. The falling/rotating motion of each snowflake is
controlled using Rick Towler's quaternion object and the entire view is
his camera object. For IDL6.3 and up users each snowflake's motion is
controlled by a separate IDL_bridge object that calculates the position
and rotation in the background.

The snowfall.zip file can be downloaded at

http://www.kilvarock.com/freesoftware/objects/objects.htm

Just extract the files somewhere in the IDL path and type snowfall at
the IDL prompt. Feel free to pass it around for others to enjoy.

Thanks Again and Merry Christmas!
