Abstract
We have developed an orbit-based method for constructing triaxial models of elliptical galaxies, which fit their observed surface brightness and kinematics. We have tested the method against analytical models with general distribution functions. Here, we present models that fit integral-field SAURON observations of NGC3379 and NGC4365.
