umbilic

Description: This object (an umbilic torus) only has one side and one edge - all the spheres are located on the same surface. Pick one and follow it; they all follow the same path.

+5 my friend.

ZOMG!1 If we cannot understand it, we must DESTROY IT!

4 for actually making it, sick of idiots submitting illusions they find on wikipedia.
2006-08-06 06:41:54
 
It isn't an illusion. It's perfectly possible to make one in reality.
2006-08-06 06:42:30
 
I like it. Change the music to something easier on the ears. A Muse song would work.
2006-08-06 06:42:31
 
I'm making one right now.
2006-08-06 06:42:58
 
Yep it is true. No illisions here. I like it by the way.
2006-08-06 06:43:44
 
Neat.
2006-08-06 06:46:34
 
4 for actually making it.

Trippin' off of aciddddd.
2006-08-06 06:48:25
 
nice to see a maxer who actually knows what they're doing for a change.
2006-08-06 06:49:00
 
Nice thing , but I doubt you made it.
2006-08-06 06:50:46
 
It's like a mobius strip.
2006-08-06 06:54:07
 
w00t for a 3D Moebius strip that isn't a Klein Bottle
2006-08-06 06:56:03
 
very boring. make at least a torus knot.

I agree with the-clansman. This thing must be destroyed. I think if people walked around the streets with these things they could, and probably will, kill Jesus and bring God's wrath down upon us all.
2006-08-06 06:57:56
 
Great 3DS Max work!
2006-08-06 06:58:54
 
My... My... My brain... Hurts...
2006-08-06 06:59:59
 
i see how that works. interesting though. good work, clever mind
2006-08-06 07:01:48
 
AWESOME!!!
2006-08-06 07:05:23
 
2,000 points for making it yourself.
2006-08-06 07:07:35
 
Awesome Möbius animation! Its definitely a mathematical construct that's underappreciated. Where there be a Klein bottle in our future?
2006-08-06 07:09:50
 
Really not that spectatular. Seen plenty of them before.

Wiki article link for us?
2006-08-06 07:21:10
 
I am totally tripping balls right now.
2006-08-06 07:22:40
 
its simple, its just a triangular cylinder twisted once and connected at the ends.
2006-08-06 07:23:01
 
very nice work
2006-08-06 07:23:11
 
vry nice.
2006-08-06 07:23:26
 
I like it but the unsolved mysteries theme isn't fitting music.
2006-08-06 07:25:19
 
Nice work.
2006-08-06 07:36:12
 
nice work
2006-08-06 07:38:31
 
ive only seen this done with a strip of paper
2006-08-06 07:44:48
 
Lol, Klien Bottle.
2006-08-06 07:47:57
 
nice, even tho' 3DS max has a default umbilic torus shape, no?
2006-08-06 07:50:49
 
^^Not that I know of. I know it has torus knots, but those are completely different.
2006-08-06 07:53:09
 
...Even if it did come as a 3ds max primitive, the most work went into the animation, not the creation of the object itself.
2006-08-06 08:03:40
 
So its like a mobius strip?
2006-08-06 08:03:48
 
Wow, you actually made it. cool.
2006-08-06 08:08:56
 
Combine two of those, see what you get :P
2006-08-06 08:10:36
 
the balogna is in the nest, the pastrami is recyclable.
2006-08-06 08:11:59
 
More umbilic fun: http://www.helasculpt.com/gallery/umbilictorusNC27inch/ (Apparently, you can get the sculpture that made the front cover of my calc book for a measly $12,000!) Also ORIGINAL CONTENT FTW.
2006-08-06 08:12:38
 
It has the same single-surface property of a Moebius strip, but has true volume. Check out Escher's strip: http://tinyurl.com/jlusr
2006-08-06 08:13:49
 
It's...hypnotic...
2006-08-06 08:13:56
 
learnt this in calculus.
2006-08-06 08:14:12
 
Top notch 3d work five for you
2006-08-06 08:16:28
 
2006-08-06 08:16:31
 
very, very cool
2006-08-06 08:17:44
 
*head explodes*
2006-08-06 08:17:57
 
Trippy sh*t
2006-08-06 08:18:02
 
Jesus would not approve of such magick. Five stars for original 3D creation and for helping promote a fad (the Unsolved Mysteries) that doesn't actually suck at the moment.
2006-08-06 08:18:17
 
5'd for pissing me off.

JIHAADD!!!??????
2006-08-06 08:26:05
 
omg! theyr ridin spinnaz?!?!
2006-08-06 08:27:56
 
thats f*ckin trippy
2006-08-06 08:30:17
 
crazy
2006-08-06 08:30:19
 
omg omg omg WTF
2006-08-06 08:30:37
 
uhhh.....why is this in the top 5?
2006-08-06 08:31:35
 
nothing special like punkisdead said, but ill give it a 3
2006-08-06 08:32:34
 
not really funny, but interesting.
2006-08-06 08:34:54
 
Worth seeing, but not that great. It's really nothing more than connecting a spiral in a circle.
2006-08-06 08:38:48
 
omg wtf, they all go in the same direction.
2006-08-06 08:39:00
 
2006-08-06 08:43:55
 
SUPERLATIVE!
2006-08-06 08:44:27
 
So where's the fun?
2006-08-06 08:44:32
 
Sweet
2006-08-06 08:44:32
 
Really nothing special, but props for making it yourself
2006-08-06 08:45:49
 
O_o whoa
2006-08-06 08:47:33
 
An umbilic torus, one of the main parts of my reactor's mixing chamber. Also 5. (you could of made that in Maya faster :P )
2006-08-06 08:48:25
 
Needs moar tiles
2006-08-06 08:51:32
 
Try making an animation of a small one rolling on a larger torus... following the same face all of the time...
2006-08-06 08:53:08
 
I don't understand it. :(
2006-08-06 08:54:10
 
You win at obscure geometry, and therefore life.
2006-08-06 08:54:20
 
5 for 3D modeling!
2006-08-06 08:57:09
 
Umbilic torus'd. :D
2006-08-06 08:57:41
 
lol, moebius
2006-08-06 08:58:57
 
trippy sh*t....but also awesome in reality
2006-08-06 09:01:47
 
"It isn't an illusion. It's perfectly possible to make one in reality." mystery solved?
2006-08-06 09:02:28
 
Cool animation, helaman ferguson is awesome.
2006-08-06 09:04:29
 
Dang
2006-08-06 09:04:44
 
Point for making it yourself, but where is the funny?
2006-08-06 09:11:49
 
WOAH WOAH WOAH MOBIUS WTF!!
2006-08-06 09:20:52
 
Watch Ebaum steal this for new pics on Friday. Put a damn watermark on it.
2006-08-06 09:23:57
 
If it's "entirely possible" to make one in reality, make me one. Right now. Make me ANY object with only one edge. Sure, this thing has one long line, but the one edge thing is bullsh*t. It has a series of edges that coincide to form the illusion of one edge, but there's no such thing as a 1 edged object.
2006-08-06 09:27:56
 
you should chang the ball colors to make it easier to follow
2006-08-06 09:29:32
 
Mobius Stripped! (It's not like a mobius strip.. it *is* a mobius strip)
2006-08-06 09:31:32
 
who. the f*ck. cares.
2006-08-06 09:32:22
 
"THIS DEFIES ISLAM" ...LMFAO also, I second or third the music change idea...unsolved mysteries is weak. 5'd...Fav'd is music changes.
2006-08-06 09:33:40
 
Oh, and he is correct, it can be made in real life.
2006-08-06 09:34:10
 
mind f*ck
2006-08-06 09:35:48
 
Cool as hell, and effort too!
2006-08-06 09:38:25
 
5 for mobicious torus!

Interesting...
2006-08-06 09:57:31
 
+5 for making it yourself!
2006-08-06 10:00:52
 
lol, there was one of these on the cover of my high school calculus books...'cept it was make of sculpted copper and was 5 feet tall. Good animation, btw.
2006-08-06 10:03:28
 
My head hurts
2006-08-06 10:03:50
 
Lol, geometry.
2006-08-06 10:05:31
 
5 for topology
2006-08-06 10:10:35
 
DESTROY WHAT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND
2006-08-06 10:18:55
 
DESTROY!
2006-08-06 10:19:14
 
I like it, just not the unsolved mysteries music... obviously you DID solve the mystery, if you created it... XD
2006-08-06 10:23:57
 
Trippy.
2006-08-06 10:24:05
 
Mind bending!! I could not possibly 1, 2, 3 or 4 this
2006-08-06 10:24:05
 
Nice syncing and graphics
2006-08-06 10:25:02
 
5'd for tightened up graphics and Mobius Strippery
2006-08-06 10:26:39
 
^_^
2006-08-06 10:27:57
 
Very cool.
2006-08-06 10:31:17
 
5 just for music
2006-08-06 10:34:56
 
Its exactly like a mobius strip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobius_strip you can make on if you want.
2006-08-06 10:38:13
 
I want to 1 this because sexymofo 5'd it, but I just can't...
2006-08-06 10:39:59
 
5 and a A+ in geomarty class
2006-08-06 10:45:30
 
cool - i look forward to a sped up 'lol, mobius strip' version.
2006-08-06 10:48:10
 
I would very much suggest watermarking this.
