Recently I have been experimenting a bit with the lathe shape.
These are made with some macros I made.
One macro calculates a lot of 2D points which it puts into an array.
And then another one takes these points from the array and feeds
them to a lathe statement.
Comments are welcome.

I like these. It makes me want to play with the lathe shape myself.
I'm not sure what to think about the unusual texture that seems to
cover the whole image, though. It makes everything a bit fuzzy.

Looks useful.
Sections of lathe objects seen here, which I guess you expected people
to realize.
Trying to think what use beyond car wheels but I'm sure there could be
many other things.

I just picked up a book on the history of toys this weekend. Turned out
to be just the history of toys in Germany, but still pretty interesting.
Anyway, lots of animals, men, and other figures were made with lathes
like those Tor posted. They lathed the wood so that, when it was chopped
into 1 to 2 inch sections, each section had the shape of a man, horse,
or whatever.

=) Happy turning then !
Btw.: What is the verb that describes the making of lathes ? Lathing ?

I'm experimenting a bit with colour maps in different textures.
And I see now that this one turned out to be a less successful one. :(

The making of lathes? Engineering :)
The making of objects using a lathe and tools : turning.
The making of lathe objects in POV-Ray : Coding <grin>
Bye for now,

Yes, but maybe I should have explained better.

Here is another shape made of a lathe object.
The magenta spheres shows where the control points in the lathe are.
Also these points (most of them) were first generated by another macro
and then passed to the lathe macro (which then generated a
cubic_spline lathe).

Sounds interesting.
Could you please try to describe better how they were made ?
I.e.: Were they torus-like or "pole"-like ?
And how were they cut ?

Well that too, but I went for the generic term :)
Of course the other term that gets used occasionally is 'Splintering'
when you take the diameter just that *little* bit too narrow <grin>
Bye for now,
Jamie.
