Mathematics by Roger L. Bagula Appeared on stickers for the MAA. (Mathematical Association of America). Equations
x = -2 r cos(p) + 2 cos(p) / r - 2 r3 cos(3 p) / 3
The source code creates polygonal facets in the "geom" format. Most of the complexity comes from deriving colours and normals at each vertex, of course this is necessary in order to get a smooth surface with a limited polygonal representation. |
