In the last samples we mostly used spheres. If we use ellipsoids instead then we win the possibility to turn them around in a Moebius like way.

First a spiral made with ellipsoides:

//------------------------------------- #declare Ball = sphere{ <0,0,0>,0.45 scale <0.7,1.5,1> // !!! texture{ pigment{ color rgb<1,0.6,0>} finish { phong 1}}} //the rest like in the previous sample!

Now we twist these ellipsoids around their way:

//------------------------------------ ... #while (Nr< EndNr) object{Ball rotate <0,0,Nr*0.5> // !!! translate<Radius0+Nr*D,0,0> rotate<0,Nr * 360/N_p_rev ,0>} #declare Nr = Nr+1; // next Nr ... //------------------------------------

Twisting stronger we see what we get:
- A new strange live form?

//------------------------------------ ... #while (Nr< EndNr) object{Ball rotate <0,0,Nr*3.5> // !!! translate<Radius0+Nr*D,0,0> rotate<0,Nr * 360/N_p_rev ,0>} #declare Nr = Nr+1; // next Nr ... //------------------------------------
