I'm putting this site up (initially
at least) to show off some cool pictures and object
files anyone might be interested in. The surfaces
below were all created by software
I wrote for CS317
at Carleton College in Northfield,
MN. (Though I have made
significant modifications while here). For more
information on how this surface
grapher works, and available source code, click here.
There are many 3d format viewers out
for Windows: I have used
3D
Exploration Tool, which converts formats as well, but it has only a
30 day trial. I
have yet to find a good freeware viewer, but InnovMetric
will probably give you a
free licence for IMView
if you ask.
If you're interested in math and pretty
pictures too, look it up on google
(Xah
Lee's
page is neat).
Just click on the below images for
more information and a zipped object file of the
surface. At bottom are zip files containing multiple
objects. (The color can be changed
through the viewer of course.) Additionally, the object
files contain a mathematical
description of their surface.
