Images
[edit]Hi. Thx for grat images and videos. Can you describe how you do them ? What software ? TIA --Adam majewski (talk) 13:48, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- My favorite tools are POV-Ray and the GAP-System. POV-Ray is a great open source ray tracer for creating photorealistic 3D images. Check out the site at povray.org. The GAP-System is a great open source package for group theory computations. Check out the site www.gap-system.org. --PSL27 (talk) 01:40, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
Categories
[edit]Hi, please be more specific with the categories for your images.
- File:Nauru-graph-on-torus-2.png and File:Pappus-graph-on-torus.png belong in Nauru graph and Pappus graph.
- Many of your images belong in the respective subcategories of Spherical disdyakis polyhedra.
- File:Orbit-of-Wythoff-tile.png belongs in Truncated cuboctahedron.
Rarely any image belongs directly in broad categories like Group theory or Polyhedra. Greetings, Watchduck (quack) 21:49, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- Very good suggestion. I see that you have been quietly adding appropriate categories to some of my files: thanks! Thanks also for your excellent ray traced images. PSL27 (talk) 00:51, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
