New - Gears

Geodesic now creates gears.

Gray, White or Black backgrounds are available. And White or Colored lights.

The objects can also be Colored.
Super Ellipse and Super Oblate shapes are available.

As well as a Bubble shape which started out as an interesting bug.

This picture was created with RayDream 5.5, the other pictures are screen captures.

Moebius strips and catenary curves are available.

 

As well as all the polyhedra from www.netlib.org

Some of the polyhedra are quite interesting.

By bringing data from several sources, all polyhedra are repaired.

 

The size and position of the main and property dialog windows as well as the parameters and settings are all saved between sessions.

When colored lighting is used, the color of a face depends on the color of the light falling on it.

The faces themselves can also be colored, and when lighted with white rather than colored lights, the faces of polyhedra can be tracked as the object is examined.

Catenary curves are colored in all the colors of the pallett in this mode.

Moebius strips and Geodesics are colored in quadrants.
