The 3-D computer animations and VRML's in this section depict models
important
to Meru Foundation research. Our animators have contributed their
skills and time so that we can display these models in motion.
Animations
and VRMLs by Vincent Cunetto
Vincent Cunetto is a design/engineering consultant and
sculptor
living in Eugene, Oregon. He has rendered both the "3-around-1
and 1-around-3" intertwined vortices, and the 3,10 torus knot as 3-D VRML models – "virtual reality" simulations that allow you
to walk around and through each of these models from any angle.
To view the VRML
models,
you need a VRML plug-in or a separate viewer.
Meru Foundation research suggests that the 3-Around-1 and
1-Around
3 is fundamental to the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.

VRML Viewers
Your browser may already have a
VRML viewer installed. Click on one of the right-hand pictures
above
– if you are offered the option of opening the file, then your browser
is already equipped. If not, Netscape will take you to an
appropriate
plug-in to download and install, or you can download a viewer yourself,
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology page: VRML Plugin and Browser Detector.
PC users can use
Cortona, available at http://www.parallelgraphics.com/products/cortona/
(If Mac users have other
suggestions
for VRML viewers, please email them to meru@meru.org )
