Borromean Rings



Here are a couple of renderings of Borromean Rings. These rings have the interesting feature that, while no two rings are linked, the set of rings is linked. Remove any one ring, and the system falls apart.


Goin' for that 1960's look!


Modeling by Andy Dunn. Rendered with BMRT 2.4. Thanks to Bob Gore for introducing me to these rings.
