how do you make the wveform permenant o the object? I dint want to animate it.

@mandotron You can simply duplicate the object in it's deformed state and then delete original object and deformer. Hope that helps.

hI - I found this excellent for making a glass dome. However, I would love to know how to make the wireframe of the dome visible in the render. I do not fancy the idea of making the wire frame manually so do you know a short cut? I want to make a geodesic sphere in space like in the movie "Silent Running"

@NoFaithNoPain Check out the wireframe tutorial for what's needed to render contours (aka. wireframe contours) The Ultimate Wireframe Render Tutorial Part 1 of 2. It's just a few render settings but there's a number of different factors for quality so check it out, that should help!

Even if I know how to do some of the things in your tuts, I always learn a nice little shortcut or how to improve upon the stuff I already know.

Keep up the great work and I hope you get off boring ol' education version soon!
