  Cable knot [~90KB]

My news reader is setup to delete all posts older than 80 days. This group
was starting to look a bit bare on my screen, so I thought I'd drop
something onto it ;-)

It's nothing special - just a cable knot. Specifically, a (19, 2)-torus knot
with the Trefoil knot (i.e., a (3, 2)-torus knot) as the companion knot.



Still a little shaky with the math, but hey, I don't suppose anyone *else*
here knows what on earth I'm twittering on about anyway... (If I'm wrong I'm
sure I'll rapidly find out about it!)

Enjoy. (Or not.)
Andrew.

PS. ~3 mins @ 1.4GHz, POV-Ray 3.5 WinXP.
PPS. How many *hours* would this take as a sphere_sweep object? Will perhaps
try it if I can work out how... (The code doesn't lend itself to this very
much!)
