Hi, i'm just starting to use mathematica... i'm trying to mathematically model the two rotating rings illusion as shown in this video: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3761503348838584940&hl=en 1) how do you create a ring in mathematica? i found the circle command, but that's only 2d. 2) how can I orient each ring so that they're perpendicular to each other? 3) how do I vary the # of rotations per minute in an animation? much obliged, imran
