Turning the Sphere Inside Out, Part 1

This is a milestone in Computer Graphics and among the very first computer-generated scientific movies. If anybody has access to better quality source material, he should put it online.

@CPLains

I am confused. Are you able to speak English?

Also would very much more appreciate this in english. :)

There was a new edition of the video (only the sphere eversion as the grant was not enough to cover all four films) a few years ago, published I believe in 2004, by A K Peters. Nowhere to be found. Please, share if you have.

I believe this video was made with pdp-11 (16-bit!! You remember?) It's truly a piece of history of mathematical animation.

Thank you again so very much for sharing.

If you should have the english, or the script, I would appreciate. I can only understand "kugel" :-))

[danieladaniela1972]

I don't know how to thank you. I have been looking for this for a very long time.

Do you perhaps also have the fourth "Topology Film" the one about the Sierpinski curve if I recall correctly?

The original master of the film is, as far as it is know, lost. The publisher (International Film Bureau, Chicago) in the process, the masters went bankrupt and in the process, the masters have disappeared. Perhaps to the landfill.

I continue in next comment

I can understand english but not german! Is there a untranslated version?
