    ENRICO NENCINI  Just what id says: totally useless, but very nice and fun. And free. It can produce nice desktop backrounds :)  (Version 1.2)

    AETNARIA  Funky!

    You start with a ball of clay. Then you twist it like taffy, play with the colors, lighting, viewpoint... just mess around with the sliders.

    I'm not sure what this is useful for (thus the Value rating - it is free though!). But it certainly is different.  (Version 1.0.1b)

    ANONYMOUS  Does not work. Quits on launch. OS X 10.2.3

    (Perhaps you are using Development build instead of Deployment build? Or you forgot a framework?)  (Version 1.0.1)
