[x3d-public] Flowers of different equations popping up everywhere!

We get any of whatever when somebody figures out how to get standards-track text and artwork for interface(s) and gets two independent implementations with x3d license of open and free IP.

Interesting coloring and different equation.  I’m not sure if they are the same or not!

I do recall sending my equation to Dr. Sourin a long, long time ago.  They’re using slightly different equations with similar shapes!
 
I don’t know if my equations looked like a rose or a pile of dog poop back then.  Impressive use of diffuse colors!  They look terrific 
 
Great rendering, great use of rendering equations with 3D technology. When can functional X3D be standardized, so it won’t be lost?
 
When do we get declarative raytracing?  Do we depend on Pixar?
