Dear group Based on code by Andrew Moylan (see for example message mg87226 in this forum) and an original idea by my colleague Raul Gomez-Castillo, I have created a small tutorial to reproduce cylindrical-mirror anamorphic-art in Mathematica: http://homepage.cem.itesm.mx/lgomez/cylmirror/cylmirror.html http://homepage.cem.itesm.mx/lgomez/cylmirror/cylmirror.nb Furthermore, I updated an old SurfaceOfRevolution tutorial to the new RevolutionPlot3D command. In this tutorial, a Coca-Cola bottle must be created with the revolution plot generated from a piece-wise defined function. My students asked many many times about the possibility of plotting the Coca Cola name on the surface of the "bottle". This is included now in the updated version: http://homepage.cem.itesm.mx/lgomez/chess6/activity.htm http://homepage.cem.itesm.mx/lgomez/chess6/cocasix.nb I hope you find them useful and fun. Let me know your students' results if you use them. Jose Mexico
