Asset Overview

A short animation showing how mirror planes at a 45° angle yeild a curved line in the resulting stereographic projection. NOTE: This animation was made using symmetry objects from an Oh symmetry system. The majority of the symmetry symbols were ommited for clarrity in an effort to better display the mirror planes.
