Looks like you're calculating fewer points along the torus and drawing the
squares in and not smoothing your triangles ; )

actually, It can't be that easy, but I bet you are rotating and translating
instead of using a parametric equation

Cool.
If you make the cylinders a dull silverish color and put a bumpy normal
on the red parts it would look more like a stained glass structure.
...just a thought.

Cool! Now darken the scene; make the panels semi-transparent with a good
ior; add in some funky turbulated emitting media (like glowing gas) inside
the object; add in point lights with a good fade_distance and fade_power in
the center of each segment; and hover the beasty over some rippling water in
a large copper dish in the center of an open-skied altar place with
moonlight trailing down on the scene.
or.. Just leave it like it is. :{)

Nope, that is the deceptively easy way, but I want quadrilaterals, not triangles,
and they have to be coplanar of course...

I took that from a Japanese cartoon, all I did was replace "Shougo" for
"David". I means "I knew that the great David was a god!" :-)

It's possible have the .pov/.zip source
for experiments?
Thanks.

Sure, once I clean it up I'll eventually post it in p.b.s-f.

Well, actually it means, "As suspected, David is a god." or, in proper
characters, "$B$d$C$Q$j!"%G%S%C%I$5$s$O?@MM$G$9!#(B"

David,
That is really cool. I can't wait for you to
post the source code. In the mean time, I've tried to
re-create a similar shape.
The big problem with my version is the facets:
you can see that they are actually two noncoplaner
triangles. I tried to use a smooth triangle to cover
that but someone I can't get the normals to work. No
modeler used: this is all pov coding.

So, non-coplanar facets are easy! You'll notice that on mine, a row of
paneling on the outside of the shape eventully works it way around to the
inside. Also, I beilieve strips don't meet themselves after a full trip
around, so it's like a mobius strip.

I actually had not noticed that. Woops. Hmm. That's why you
have seven coils: otherwise the six-sided cross section would not
work. Aha! That also means you can only use an odd number of
coils. So does the mobius-like twisting somehow cut down
on the amount of curvature on the individual facets?
I learned a lot of math and pov in the progress of attempting
to emulate your picture, so thank you for posting it!

I'm not following. Why do you think I can only use an odd number?
> So does the mobius-like twisting somehow cut down

Not entirely sure what you mean... the facets are perfectly flat, except for
the last one (where it must meet up properly with the first), the mobius
twisting is a side effect of them being flat.

No problem :)
