A blog about satisfying my own curiosity.

Mostly about math, physics and computer science.
But also kanjis and modular origami.

Rendering : Atomic orbitals

I have combined most of my knowledge about physics, programming and rendering to replicate a great visualisation of atomic orbitals.

Geometry : Parquet Polygon Explorer

In a previous post, I have presented parquet polygons. I have transposed the generation code into JavaScript and made an interactive viewer out of it.

Geometry : Finding new regular faced polyhedra using Stella

I like playing with magnets but it is limited to simple models with a few hundreds of elements at most. Here I show my results of using Stella software to produce more complex model using repetitive actions.

Geometry : Making my own polyhedra using Supermag magnets

During my childhood, my parents bought me Legos, K'nex, Megabloks and Meccano sets. Apart from the Lego, the only ones I have kept are my three boxes of Supermag Magnetic Genius.

Geometry : Discovery of Lobel Frames

During my quest towards polyhedron with regular faces, I have discovered the work of a lifetime by Alain Lobel, a French architect. This is will be the first of many post on the subject.

Geometry : Interactive Galleries of Polyhedra

As a complement to the main viewer, here are galleries for the polyhedra organized by family.

Geometry : Possible polygonal arrangements around a vertex

The interest arose during some thinking about the arrangement of faces around the vertex of a polyhedron. Here is the solution in 2D.

Geometry : Prisms with Parquet Faces

The idea behind parquet polygons is to extend regular polygons to convex shapes made of them. Here, I will show what they look like and how to generate them. At the end, they will be turned into prisms to be viewed with the polyhedra viewer !

Geometry : Polyhedra Viewer using Three.js

Here is the full screen interactive viewer for polyhedra. I will use it to display all the polyhedra I have found over the internet or made by myself.

Rendering : All convex solids with regular faces

If you have taken a look at the graph of convex polyhedra with regular faces in this post, you could see that by hovering over a node, animations of the corresponding solid would be displayed. I could not use the glass rendering I had made for the origami models because it would have been too long to render for the 200+ solids in the graph. So I needed another approach. In this article I show how I made these simpler renders.
