Hi, all !
I would like to show you another source of geometry for POV-Ray:
https://mathview.yesbird.online

I was enchanted by math surfaces from my school years, always like to
play with different math packages, including Mathlab, Mathematica and
now Wolfram Alpha.

Inspired by following sources:
https://virtualmathmuseum.org/
https://3d-xplormath.org/
https://github.com/parisolab/mathmod

I decided to write an online tool for exploring surfaces with simple and
convenient GUI, rich visual representation and export to most popular
modern formats (POV mesh2 also supported). For those who have an XR 
headset, I made available XR mode.

Now all main functionality is completed and I am starting to fill the
collection with the most interesting and attractive surfaces.

How to use:
-  Combine 6 materials and 18 textures for desired visual effect
-  Click twice on the color map icon to change projection
-  Edit surface parameters
-  Edit functions of surfaces, that has a 'pen' mark
-  Shift surface parameters in 'Settings' to see changes in real time
-  Take screenshots by clicking 'Camera' icon
-  Download geometry in 'OBJ' or 'POV' format
-  Enter XR mode by clicking 'Box' icon

Also there is a short description available by clicking (?) icon.

For POV-Ray users:
Download scene template with complete set of textures from here:
https://mathview.yesbird.online/data/templates/scene.zip

In MathView: select desired surface, download data in POV format,
save 'surface.ini' file in directory where 'scene.pov' is located.

In POV-Ray: render scene.pov with desired settings, try different image
maps, located in 'textures' directory.

I will be glad to get any kind of feedback from you, including
suggestions about surfaces to add.

Hi, I had to use the phone again, and the material thumnails tend to cover all
of the rest... But the math formulas display looks neat !

Thank you for feedback, but this application definitely is not for
phones, it also will not work on a calculators or refrigerators :).

It assumes a monitor with HD(1920x1080) resolution, please try it
this way.

I bet on lavatories. It's only a matter of time. And some user input 
devices modification.

So would we classify that as input or output?
Or a "pipe" | from one to the other?  :D

Clearly this is a fertile topic to explore once I digest its full import.

Again, your whole site is blocked from behind my corporate proxy, so I can't but
it looks like a very good idea.(I suppose it may be blocked because of being
http rather than https?)

Sorry, but you are the only, who reports access problems, site works
via https. I don't know a policy of your corporation, it's better to ask
your admins.

Thanks for the support, I believe that idea is really promising and
working hard on implementation.

This is surely due to the fact that your company is unable to decrypt 
pages (TLS 1.3 and/or SHA-256 ECDSA signature) with the YesBird website 
certificates.

SSL/TLS certificates and authentication chains should be installed on 
your company's security equipment... I don't think they would approve.




No decryption -> no analysis -> blocking :(
