The Butterfly
The parametric surface described by the equations:
x = u - u^3/3 + u*v^2
y = -v - u^2*v + v^3/3
z = u^2 - v^2
u,v plotted from -1.7 .... 1.7.
This surface is a minimal surface known as the "Enneper Surface". The mesh was generated in Blender 2.79 and and rendered using the Cycles Rendering engine. Thickness has been added to the surface and a pattern of hexagons have been mapped across it.
