  "Leftovers" Source Code (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Subject: "Leftovers" Source Code

Message: <38FD151E.6B5BFBEE@online.no>
Here is the source code for an image I posted 18. April to the
povray.binaries.images newsgroup.

Note that some of the macros below are my "work in progress" and
therefore they may not be optimal or without errors.

There are some "noise" inside the "horns" of the green shapes.
I'm not sure what causes this, but I suspect that it is caused by
either:

A CSG operation with coinciding surfaces
- or -
That I have not used the keyword sturm in the torii declarations
- or -
By the strange behaviour of the torus shape when the minor radius is
greater than the major radius.

The latter can be seen when such a torus is subtracted from another
shape in a CSG operation. (This behaviour can be exploited if one
wish to make "concave cylinders" or "cigars".)

Sorry. Correction: "convex cylinders"

To get a "cigar", try this:

#declare CigarRadius = 0.5;
#declare MinorRadius = 26;
#declare MajorRadius = MinorRadius - CigarRadius;

difference {
  sphere { <0,0,0>, sqrt(pow(MinorRadius, 2)-pow(MajorRadius, 2))}
  torus { MajorRadius, MinorRadius }
}

The cigar you get from this appears to be hollow (?).
So if you try to do further CSG operations with it you may not get
the desired result.
