Gyroid — minimal surface (3D)

About this app

The triply periodic minimal surface sin x cos y + sin y cos z + sin z cos x = t as a surface with two side colours, as a labyrinth or as a shell: it splits space into two equal, intertwined labyrinths. The level t shifts the surface, volume shares and curvature respond live; cutting it open reveals the channels. Exhibit-ready.
