Ball of Star-Shaped Rings in Brick Tower

Prev - Index - Next ]
Long Description

A brick tower containing a metallic ball composed of six interlocking five-pointed rings. These rings lie along the planes of the six "decagonal equators" of an icosidodecahedron.

Making Of

This scene was constructed entirely by hand-editing the script for POV-Ray 3.6. The star-shaped rings that interlock are composed of a series of arcs sliced out of tori through CSG and then assembled together to produce the ring. The bricks comprising the wall of the tower are isosurfaces assembled procedurally to produce the cylindrical shape with the windows.

Tools Used

Interesting but much too dark.
