Hi there, I do a bit of ray tracing with Pov-Ray, and I'm trying to render some mathematical knots. In particular I'd like to do the 3 verticed smooth knot that ties itself 3 times. I'm plotting spheres in a trajectory but I'm having problems placing the spheres in the correct XYZ coordinates.I realise that this formula to plot these points in space must be quite simple, but I cannot fathom it out. If anyone who reads this group, understands what I'm talking about, and can offer some help, I'd much appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance.
