If I was an illustrator/CAD designer, I'd be happy as a clam to provide Kevin
with a 3D model he could rotate and save multiple views of, because each and
every view would be either a shaded rendering or a hidden-line mesh that would
require additional work to turn into clean line art, and from what Kevin says,
he doesn't have the time to do that himself.
