Ahhh you speak to me! I haven't actually made much of an effort to verify
this is the problem with my world, but With webFX a series of spheres which
I scale and translate appear within the walls of my cuboid maze, but with
WorldView many of the spheres appear outside the cuboid maze. If this is my
problem as I think, this problem is no longer within the esalm of a
theoritical problem, there are very esal-world implications of the order in
which transforms are apply and how various browser in use now impliment
them! comments?
