I wondered why the Wikipedia articles about some sextics (6th degree
polynomials) don't have images, so I want to render some.

Unfortunately the formulas given in the articles did not work, so I
modified them and get some nice looking objects, I've attached here.

I hope you like them a bit.


I also animated them and uploaded the videos to my homepage (I don't
like Youtube and other data collecting companies ;-)). Surprisingly my
Firefox does not want to play the MP4 videos, but it played older videos
I created the same way.

Here are the old videos where both Ogg/Theora and MP4 works in Firefox:

here are the new videos where MP4 does not play (and the Ogg/Theora
looks worse than the MP4 with the same bitrate):

I also added a lossless FFV1 video for your own encoding experiments, if
you want to help me. :-)
