I took the anchor points from the letter a and moved them forward and backward along a z-axis, then connected them. This means you can only see the letter if you look at it in a certain way.
I think this would work out easier in a physical model, as the perspective in SketchUp warps the letter a bit. I added spheres to represent planets or stars or other astronomical bodies. Not done adding them all in yet, and I'm not sure if I want to go in that direction. But I think if I could figure out a way to make a physical model of this, it would be pretty cool.
look up Markus Raetz (there's a DVD in the seminar room, right side where most of the smaller paperbacks are). also — how to make Markus Raetz YES/NO in sketchup
