Inhaltsangabe

Sliceform modelling is a technique which lies happily on the border between art and mathematics. The models are made from intersecting sets of parallel planes which which slot together in a clever way to generate intersecting three-dimensional surfaces. In the "fully-open" position the planes are at right angles and the surfaces correctly defined, but all the models fold flat in two different ways, making them convenient to store until they are needed next time. When "popped-up," the play of light and shade on the planes creates objects of great beauty. This book includes a varied selection of sliceform models to cut out and make, and also a full explanation of how they were produced.

Reseña del editor

Sliceform modelling is a technique which lies happily on the borders between art and mathematics. The medels are made from intersecting sets of parallel planes which slot together to generate interesting 3-dimensional surfaces. in the 'fully open' position the planes are at right angles, but all the models fold flat in two different ways, making them easy to store until they are wanted the next time. When in the 'popped-up' state, the play of light and shade on the planes creates objects of great beauty. There are eight models to cut out and make and a detailed explanation of how to generate the slices for models of your own.
