Actually, I think it was Wodzimierz ABX Skiba (and what a wonderfully
difficult name he has ;) )

Anyway it's nice and certainly way out of my league in mathematical terms?
:P

That's very nice; would you mind posting the code or the macro with an
example?
best,

Thank you Dennis.

I'll post the code for it (and another short example)
as soon as I get to the PC where I have the code.

So does the macro make a ball, or is it shaped by control points? Someone
posted a link to a macro by Ron Parker which gave similar looking results to
this.

You probably mean

There were isofunctional toruses.

In unicode it has code 0142 and is called 'LATIN SMALL LETTER L WITH
STROKE'. The upper version of this letter has code 0141 and is called 'LATIN
CAPITAL LETTER L WITH STROKE'.

    Like I always say, it's spelled -exactly- the way it is pronounced.

ABX, I had forgotten about these image of yours
when I posted my image.

But I did remember that Ron had made some 
macros for "joining of dots" with tori
segments:

http://news.povray.org/povray.general/312/
(His web pages does not seem to be available now.)


Btw.: Of the snake images you posted, I like this
one best:

I just had a quick look at your isomaze tutorial:
http://news.povray.org/povray.text.tutorials/19850/

- and I think that it is a interesting way to
make a maze.
