Inspired by this object:
http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-94505617/stock-photo--d-infinity-shape-d-render-illustration.html
I created a simple Povray union. The resuld you can see attached.
I would like to change the whole object into a single "sphere_sweep" and
I'd like to have a closed formula that calculates the positions of all
spheres at once, with "smooth" transitions between the 3 3/4 torii, so
no cylindrical parts between them.
I tried 3 polynomials (one for each of the X, Y, Z coordinates) but it
was harder than it looked to me. :-(
Any ideas, suggestions?

Beware, it's chiral, so there is a left and a right version.

Nice one. It is a bit "flattened" compared to my object and the 3 "ears"
are not perpendicular to each other.
But I think I can use if for my ideas :-)
Thank you!
Lars R.

Python in the Blender creates it so:
def Torus_Knot(self):
p = self.torus_p
q = self.torus_q
w = self.torus_w
res = self.torus_res
h = self.torus_h
u = self.torus_u
v = self.torus_v
rounds = self.torus_rounds
newPoints = []
angle = 2*rounds
step = angle/(res-1)
scale = h
height = w
for i in range(res-1):
t = ( i*step*pi)
x = (2 * scale + cos((q*t)/p*v)) * cos(t * u)
y = (2 * scale + cos((q*t)/p*v)) * sin(t * u)
z = sin(q*t/p) * height
newPoints.extend([x,y,z,1])
return newPoints
From the received verts cubic_spline is created

Nice one. But there are quite sharp curves at the transition between the
straight and the curved parts of the loop (marked read on the attached
image)

Oh, when will 16:9 aspect ratio will be the default in Povray? ;-)

What do you want to do me with that snippet?
I do know how to adjust the camera to render 16:9 images in Povray.
That was _not_ my question. I asked when 16:9 will become the _default_
in Povray so such scaling of the right vector becomes unnecessary. oO

Unnecessary for you... my screen are 1920x1200, I would need 16:10.
Changing the default right vector (even to something like
image_width:image_height ratio, assuming square pixel everywhere)
would only have one sure effect: break every historical scenes.
Without providing 100% satisfaction to all users. Better not move.
And guess what: 4K screens are coming... and there is at least 5
different resolution under the name 4K, none with exactly the same ratio
.
So far:
* 4096 x 2160 ( 256:135) [DCI native]
* 3840 x 2160 ( 16:9 ) [UHD-1]
* 5120 x 2160 ( 21:9 ) [UWT]
* 5120 x 3200 ( 16:10 ) [WHXGA]
* 4096 x 1716 ( 2.39: 1 ) [DCI cinemascope cropped]
* 3996 x 2160 ( 1.85: 1 ) [DCI flat cropped]
