A smooth model of Boy's surface using simple pieces
Most meshes are built with ad hoc C++ programs and/or using Blender. The scene is usually set up with Blender. Rendering is done with Luxrender for low resolution, and with Blender/Cycles for high resolution versions.
Hi-res pictures are attached as “source” files for the images, and a few supplementary high resolution pictures can be found in the Files section.
