Comments
Features: (Check the second picture below)
-Textures (planets, stars)
-Animation, Moving lights (ball, torus, moon cube thing)
-Billboarding (orientation of stars)
-Space Curves, Tangent, Normal, Binormal Vectors (trefoil knot)
-Randomized Jittering & stochastic sampling algorithm (distribution of stars)
-Parametric Equations of 3D Objects (moebius strip, trefoil knot tube)
Controls: (The standard stuff...)
up,down - rotate along azimuth
left,right - rotate along theta
w - wireframe mode
f - toggle smooth/flat shading
s/S - Slow down or speed up animation
s/S - Slow down or speed up animation
Description:
Basically some strange scene in space with some mathematical/topological objects that
are interesting and other animated junk that makes it more exciting. These include:
Möebius Strip - http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MoebiusStrip.html
Trefoil Knot - http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TrefoilKnot.html
Tubes! - http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Tube.html
Above links give some more info on all this stuff, but there probably much more interesting
sites on these topics.
Download:
To see the animation, you can download this gal in all its semi-glory here - InvertedExe.zip
Oh and here is the readme text thing - readme.txt
