I was playing around with oscillation patterns and came up with one I rather
liked, so I thought I would share it. It's really just a single sphere rotating
around the y-axis, rising slowly as it goes, with it's distance from the center
controlled by ever-so-slightly asynchronous sine and cosine functions. I
rather enjoyed the combination of motion and stillness created by elements
moving within a structure which remains in place. Color, texture and lighting
choices were largely governed by the desire to get a fairly large size gif
animation (640x480, 8 frames) within the 700k posting limit. I hope folks
enjoy it.
Best Regards,
Mike C.

It has a kind of hypnotic quality. One could look at this for hours....

Hypnotic! Quite a nice, compact little animation loop. How you did this is a
mystery to me--which adds to the mystique.

That is really nice. Any chance of posting the code please

Thanks (to all) for the kind comments. I'll be glad to post the code (Hopefully
by later today), but I'll need to clean it up a bit first. It's kind of like how
your friends already know how messy your house usually is, but you clean it up
before they visit anyway and they go along with the gag and pretend not to know
what you threw into the basement to make it look that way.
Best Regards,
Mike C.
