| In the article I mentioned "[Generation of view dependent models using free form deformation][1] the authors use 2D information to make 3D objects. But in my case, I needed all 3 dimensional info (the code for and a circle, and a triangle and a... |
| pts = Append[#, 0] & /@ CirclePoints[16]; rs = RandomReal[{.05, .15}, 16]; g = Graphics3D[Tube[pts, rs]] ![enter image description here][1] ![enter image description here][2] This will appear in your browser and you... |
| ![enter image description here][1] The above photo of an arrangement on my desk looks inspired by René Magritte's surrealistic painting "[Ceci n'est pas une pipe][2]": none of the 4 images are a real "[Utah Teapot][3]". Two of them are anamorphic... |
| Glad you like this, Frederick. I know there is also refraction through the (relatively thin) glass wall of the drinking glass. The error is more significant toward the edges where there is a very sharp angle of incidence. This is why I avoided the... |
| Self-anamorphism is when an image is equal to its reflection. As demonstrated in [my previous community contribution][1], this is is only possible in a conical mirror. In a cylindrical mirror one can have "double images" when both the image and its... |
| ![enter image description here][1] Looking at the YouTube illusion "[Ambiguous Garage Roof][2]" by the Kokichi Sugihara demonstrates once more that what we see does not always represent reality. His beautiful illusion is based on perspective... |
| I discovered a book. "**Interactive Computational Geometry**, A Taxonomic Approach" by Jim Arlow on [this WRI site][1]. Maybe in Chapter 5 there are some details about intersections of geometric objects? **Chapter 5** - **intersections**: The... |
| ![enter image description here][1] All the above objects will reflect in a spherical mirror as the same virtual club suit image. They are part of an infinite number of anamorphic objects that will reflect to the same image. In this contribution,I... |
| ![enter image description here][1] Recognize your favorite snack or beverage in the above pictures? No worry, it is a catoptric- or mirror anamorphosis. These are distorted images that can only be seen undeformed when reflected in a mirror from a... |
| Was a negligent “copy/paste”! Thanks for your correction Oliver! |
