The story and maths behind the Sferical lamps by R3GB

I’d like to take you with me on how I build a generator for spherical lampshades. This generator is my contribution to boxes.py, an amazing website if you want to lasercut boxes! I’ll talk about how math slowly turns into magic. Don’t worry too much about the math. It’s mainly trigonometry and it will be visualised, so everyone can follow along. Magic happens when we introduce light in the equation, but the real magic is that it is open source and you can make your own spherical objects!
