Hi all,

Here's a fun little animation I recently made. It's small enough to be uploaded
as an animated GIF. Hopefully that will work.

The model is a mesh, generated entirely within POVRay via a few custom macros.

I will shortly have this printed in 3D via Shapeways. For this, I exported the
meshes from POVRay into ASCII .STL files (because it's an easy format). These
were converted into .3DS using MeshLab and subsequently imported in Sketchup,
where I merged the meshes into a single, closed volume without any interior
vertices (something POVRay does not mind, but Shapeway does). I am curious to
see how well the illusion will work in real life.

Cheers,
Erwin
