Yet another Isosurface object. I particularly like the ornamental look
of this one and thus the reason I am sharing it with you.


camera {location < 0.0, 0, -13 >look_at 0}

light_source{<0,10,-210> rgb 1}

 isosurface {
     function { tan(tan(x^2)+tan(y^2)+tan(z^2)-1)}

// also try this variant - function { tan(x^2)+tan(y^2)+tan(z^2)}

    threshold 0

  pigment { rgb<1,0,0>}
   finish { ambient .5 diffuse .5 specular 1 roughness .0001 brilliance 4 metallic}

  bounded_by { sphere { 0,5 } }

 rotate 45*y rotate 45*-x

}

Try it as an isosurface pigment:
sphere {< 0, 0, 0>, 1
   texture {
      pigment {function { tan(tan(x^2)+tan(y^2)+tan(z^2)-1)}
         frequency 0.1
         color_map {
            [0 color Black]
            [1 color White]
         }
         scale 1/3
      }
   }
}
It just needs a more interesting color_map. :-)

It has a vaguely sinister look...

Ooh, neat!
What's with the lighter circle right in the center?

It may be the metallic highlights along with the specular highlights and
the position of the light source or it might be from the pattern matching
front to back. I haven't explored it's cause any further.

This one goes into my saves directory.  

May try rendering in aswell when I get round to unpacking
