    Default it turns out....

    that lissajous curves are really sexy in 3d.

    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    You are using Bonetti's defense against me, ah?

    I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain.

    Is that even a question? :P

    I like the colour modulation on this one, it's stable and thus allows you to follow the shape of the abstract easily.

    cmb,

    use the color/intensity-pre action instead of the color/intensity-post action. that way it's applied uniformly to each of the copies cloned by the z-rot loop expression.

    this abstract has 8 copies of a lissajous expression, x/y/z rotations, a sine curve on pre move-x, a static world-x rotation, and a little perspective (.9).

    Well in your case it's easy since you have more than one colour to pick from! :P
    I guess I should buy that RGB laser module after all... (before my parents get hold of my grades)

    Very nice Swami!
    Support your local Janitor- not solicited .

    Laser (the acronym derived from Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation) is a spectacular manifestation of this process. It is a source which emits a kind of light of unrivaled purity and intensity not found in any of the previously known sources of radiation. - Lasers & Non-Linear Optics, B.B. Laud.

    Mark your calendar for mid August... you're coming east for SELEM, damn it. I have an AMEX so you have a room and a flight. No excuses!
