Rendering of a Roman surface

November 5, 2006 @ 4:43 am · Filed under Mathematics

Here is a rendering of three intersecting Roman surfaces (one of the many interesting Steiner surfaces). Sorry about the bright colours, I wanted something that helped discern regions of intersection. Click on the image to view a fairly high-res version.

Update: I have also added a new section titled Topological Constructs with more interesting Roman surface and Whitney umbrella renderings, as well as some code on rendering certain Non-Orientable Surfaces. Enjoy! :)

Thanks muchly to Alamandrax in helping me debug an uneven render and props to his Matlab skills.
