Band van Möbius II by M.C.Escher

Fancy

Here you have all three. M.C.Escher's orginal and my two versions, classic and fancy. The original is there to show how my version is different. Classic is my previous version. Fancy a is kind of popped up version of classic. I intended to make fancy from the beginning, but it was finished for the IRTC. The IRTC topic inspired me to finish fancy.

Here are two other views, which were made while creating the models. I hope you like the image I have entered for the competition.

viewed from the left side, 7 ants

ant no. 1 (normally seen from below)

About the zip:

I tried to zip up the whole source, it was too big. So the ants had to go, sorry. The C file that generates the band is there, unfortunately some of the comments are in norwegian. The macro-language in POV could have been used to do the same as the C program.

About me:

Not my first raytracing image... the first was made with Vivid in '92 on a 386. Though it is the first time I put a raytracing image on the internet. I have a website where I might put up some raytracing stuff sometime soon (too many projects, not enough time).
