CS 285: SOLID MODELING, Spring 2000

Assignment #6 : Recursive Torus

Following the reasoning model presented in class, design a recursive torus, using simple geometrical primitives and boolean set operations.

The constructions from which you should draw your inspiration for your design process are:
the Sierpinsky triangle and the Sierpinsky arrowhead
as well as the Sierpinsky carpet and the Menger sponge

Due Dates:

Wednesday 4/5/00, 10:40am

Hand in 0.5 to 1.0 page of text describing your construction and why you believe that it is an appropriate solution. Also mention the trade-offs you were forced to make. Accompany your text with a couple of figures of your "Recursive Torus."
