Moebius
had an idea to render a 3d object resembling the moebius equation...

im a noob to the point that its crippling, but heres a WIP and the basic idea...

moebius equation:

a seeming paradigm in which a 3d object has only one exposed surface...

u=0-2radian;v=width of the surface;

x=cos(u)+v*cos(u/2)*cos(u);
y=sin(u)+v*cos(u/2)*sin(u);
z=v*sin(u/2);

hopefully someone gets something out of it...

here is a link to a drawing by M.C. Escher... i think it best explains what i am trying to accomplish..

thanks a bunch jack, im going over the code you sent me... its not quite what i was looking for, but it works really well..

As a fellow n00bie my programing is also bad. But I do love MC Escher, especially the 'WaterFall' drawing. Well here's a little change in your version of Mobies strip, maybe it might point you in the right direction. I don't know, I think some color coding in the superscope could make it more realistic. I'm not good at colorcoding, so I made a bunch of them with different colors, also sound dancing capabilities.

don't worry about the water effect or fadeout, they do nothing and I forgot to take them out:confused: :confused:

I think this version is better! I didn't realize that a Moebius strip has only one line, untill I drew it out. I made a few changes to my version, And I think it looks great.

I also used the water effect and fadeout:D :D :D .
Hopefully this will point you in the right direction!
