Starry Slices

Examples of parallel solid sections, taken along an axis of icosahedral symmetry, of all ten of the regular four-dimensional star polytopes. There are also examples of polygon-first and edge-first parallel solid sections, and an unfinished, more elaborate animation. All these animations were created in 1999; constructed in Wolfram Research's Mathematica, exported to POV-Ray, and the individual frames linked into animations using Apple's wonderful QuickTime technology.

I like the balance and variations on geometric equation,very well!!

Thanks!

amazing to watch. what is that beautiful music?

[rufus16180339887]

Thank you! The music is an arrangement of mine of the song "Just One of Those Things."

I love the balance with all the variations on this geometric equation, very well done.
