3D Cube Manipulation | Processing | 9 - 21 - 2013

I initially was trying to create a 3D cube and manipulate it to squash and stretch similar to previous sketches we've looked at in class, but then I tried hard-coding my own translation and rotation patterns. I then added the mouseX and mouseY system variables to dynamically change more draw variables.

I'm hoping to eventually get the squash and stretch of the cube/other geometry eventually figured out.
