Here’s another gorgeous animation by David Van Dyke of Z-Axis Graphics. With Dave’s tutelage, 3DStudio Max generated this lovely video of glass polyhedra with beveled edges rotating in unison as if suspended by light beams from above. Again, Dave fine-tuned the optical caustics parameters in the geometric models to achieve the stunning photorealistic quality and recycled the synthesizer tone from the prior video.. You can enjoy more of Dave’ geometric models here and also his diverse artistic and musical creativity on my blog.

Rotating cube with optical caustics
David Van Dyke of Z-Axis Graphics generated this exquisite video of a glass cube with beveled edges rotating on a diagonal axis (√3 times an edge length) using 3D Studio Max. Dave fine-tuned the optical caustics parameters in the geometric model to achieve the stunning photorealistic quality and added a synthesizer tone.

Martineau Solar System Calendars – updated for 2020 … same low price!
I just updated this sacred geometry calendar which has images from the fascinating geometric Martineau Solar System models. Here are details about the 12 images which are highly accurate geometric models of pairs of planetary orbits in our solar system. They were inspired by the remarkable work of John Martineau (publisher of Wooden Books), who wrote “A Little Book of Coincidence in the Solar System.” Tiled images of planetary surfaces and related images form the backgrounds. Images are two or more orbits defined by simple 2D (circles, triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, octagons) or 3D geometries (e.g. tetrahedron, icosahedron, dodecahedron) typically with 99.9% or greater accuracy. The work picks up where Johannes Kepler’s mystical exploration left off.

The Geometry Code Kindle edition: 6 years ago … Fun geometry videos
On Sep. 28, 2012 the Kindle version of my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation, was launched, a few months after the paperback version. Thanks to one and all for your support this past 6 years and for over two decades since my first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook (SGDS) – Universal Dimensional Patterns was published! Much appreciated! (SGDS, if you’re new to this realm, is – among other things – a sacred geometry coloring book for adults.) I always enjoy hearing from you … how these have added to your enjoyment of geometric … and more recently metaphysical … explorations or by way of other interconnected conversations!
I recently discovered some fun videos by StandUpMaths that will certainly appeal to the nerdier among us, but are general enough to be fun for a wide range of those even slightly interested in geometry, science, math, etc. I started with “Stand-up comedy routine about Spreadsheets” and then progressed to this fun demo of toroidal vortices “Stand-up comedy about Equations That Correspond to Vortex Motions (aka ‘smoke rings’)”
I wonder how long dolphins have been blowing bubble rings? Douglas Adams might have been on the right track suggesting they were smarter than humans. :-)
Here’s a 4D puzzle you might enjoy which helps explain our limited perspective here in this surreal 3D world: Dodecaplex: the puzzle from the fourth dimension! If you’re a hyperdimensional dodecahedra fan, you won’t want to miss this! Enjoy!
