Yeah, exactly...I don't even know what it is. Made out of 14 tori. AS

Okay, I believe I have appeased the ongoing boolean monster voices in my head...time to get a little sleep. AS

Wireframe? I'm interested to see what is positive/negative/intersecting etc. Btw, keep up your booleaned creations, they are awesome.

Wierd, keep them coming, I'm interested how would you do this ( done in Povray using torus only, at least that is what author is claiming)... :D

This object is, for some reason, called Villarceau Circles, go figure, forgot to mention, boolean operations used in PovRay...:D

Nice stuff AS, troubling dreams though. ;) Kemal...holy crap, hurts too much to think how. ;)

Very cool creation AS! Great use of specular highlights in the mat you used. Yeah, please keep your mind-twisting boolean creations coming, I likes them.:-)

Kemal, like this.

AgentSmith posted Wed, 25 May 2005 at 9:41 PM

Yeah, I had gave up that mat somewhere here in the forum, in the past. I really got to get all my free stuff together.... Hey xenic101, what's it look like rendered? Cool design! AS

Yeah Xenic, I'd like to see that thing rendered too! Very cool wireframe; kind of a work of art in its own right.

It's obvious AS, stick it on a stand and bung a mesh in the centre and hey presto! An old BBC type Microphone! (this is looking at the first image) For the second... maybe from that angle it's a frame for a sci-fi motorcycle....? ggg Great stuff, you must have very strange dreams though...

AS and Kemal: Brilliant stuff. A beautiful intersection of art and mathematics. You both must be good at scaling toruses using numerical attributes...

AgentSmith posted Thu, 26 May 2005 at 5:03 AM

I try to keep it simple, but tori don't like to be. But, they are a quick way to make non-bryce, more organic looking booleans. Especially when use with intersection booleaning. I'll have to practice on simulating that povray model. ;o) AS

It looks like this. I had seen the one done in POVray awhile ago and was facinated for about 3 minutes. When Kemal posted the picture, I got obsessed.

I seem to have such a lot of trouble with boolean, I'm having trouble now. Trying to do some tori booleans, like you guys, I can't figure out why my negatives won't cut my positive... even when I make it neutral. I check their status while in their group, I even ungrouped absolutely everything and checked again - but it all has the boolean atribute it should have, it just won't cut. I can't figure out what the problem could be...

First I have one large torus then I have a lot of small tori with negative boolean grouped together sitting inside the biggy... then I copied that group of small tori and moved it to a different position, then I grouped everything together... and nothing happened. I tried the biggy with both neutral boolean and with positive boolean - nada, zilch, nothing... (sniff)
