Well, I've been through the voluminous documentation for our new copy of
AVS 4.0 and couldn't really quite see what I needed so I thought I'd ask
you people out there for some guidance!! (it's like anything new .... you 
just need a bit of a kickstart to get going)

I have a bunch of 2-D seismic survey lines that are physically located on the 
survey area  in essentially orthogonal directions. Taken indivually they
constitute 2-D images but because they are located in 3-D space they are
a 3-D irregular field (ndim=2 & nspace=3) going by AVS data types.

Now what I would like to do is visualize multiple sesmic sections located
vertically in 3-D space, some of them intersecting, and apply different 
colourmaps/transparenies to the rendered image to hilite different horizons
in the seismic section.

My first guess was to convert the 2-D image (field) to a 3-D geometric
object where the image now becomes a 3-D surface (geometry?) that can then
be rotatedt. The field-to-mesh module doesn't look to be what
I want since really I am mapping (x,y,z) info to each of the pixels in the
original image.

Without belabouring the point, is there any direction I should be looking
at in attempting to get the image I am after??

thanx,

	ian
