Hello all,

I could not resist to create an inverse 3D Trouchet tiling as shown by scam
previously.
It is done completely in SDL by a bunch of #while loops. The whole object is
one mesh.
I had first made a regular tiling with smooth_triangles, but since I have no
clue how
to transform the normal vectors (or too lazy to create some from the
vertices), I reverted
to normal triangles...

Hope you like it, I'll post the source code to p.b.s-f., so you may play
around with it.

Cheers,
Michael

You know, the surface subdivision patch for POV 3.6 can smooth meshes 
instantly. If you don't download it for any other reason than that, it's 
still worth it.

It's pretty cool!

Very nice! I love when people use Pov-ray to render mathematical stuff...!

I'd love to see a sub-div'd version with it smoothed out..

Nice work mate. I was going to do it myself to learn SDL, but now I think
I'll just use yours as a guide. Something different you might like to try
is using other shapes for your 3d tile ie a polyhedron such as an
octahedron.

Ok, so I found a surface subdivision patch made by Xiaobin Wu and Jianhua
Fan
(http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~xwu/Pov-Sub/) and whoaa! Three lines of code added
and it turns out pretty nice!

i'm surprised how much the look-and-feel for the image is changed
just by removing the blockiness of the surface.

very nice!

Good job! It's a nice patch, isn't it? It appears there is still no 3.6 version,
though :(

The edges are still spikey - but hey, I bet it renders /slightly/ faster 
than an isosurface...

Wonder if you could do it with a sphere_sweep?

Dam fine image either way... I wish I knew how to do cool stuff...

Nice work! Do you plan to upload the code for the patched-version version?
thanks,
Dennis

That's easy, just insert the following lines after the "#declare
Trouchet=mesh{":

 subdivision {
  substeps 1
  smooth on
 }


You might want to play with the number of substeps as well as the number of
steps of the original mesh.

Cheers,
Michael
