Hi all, could anyone please help me.

I would like (desperatley need) to render a mobius strip in POV-Ray but
can't figure out how. Does anyone know? Any help greatly appreciated.


The equation for a Mobius Strip is :

The mobius strip in 3 dimensions can be represented parameterically
f(s,t) as follows 

x = cos(s) + t * cos(s/2) * cos(s)
y = sin(s) + t * cos(s/2) * sin(s)
z = t * sin(s/2)



where s ranges from 0 to 2*pi and t ranges typically from -0.3 to 0.3.


Thanks in Advance,

Colm.
