An animated hexagonal tiling of a curious shape.

A brief description of the elemental shape, including a GIF animation of a single element. Modeled and rendered with Space Software.

Thats done my head in! LOL
I like trying to find the hexagon in each sequence.
Wonderful, lots of secondary designs. Neat.
wow that's curious!

That's neat, although the swastika imagery is perhaps a little unfortunate. Could be interesting in silhouette.

It's reflection _is_ a 180 degree rotation of itself. It blows me that this thing isn't chiral.

I recently read Martin Gardener's "Ambitextrous Universe" (1967 edition, very good) that gave me an insight on this apparent strangeness.

Imagine any chiral shape in 2-D, and its enantiomorph (a copy that is mirrored), perhaps a left and right swastika. Stretch both in the third dimension, just a bit to give them depth. Now stack them and glue together. This new 3-D shape is not chiral, because a 180 degree rotation is a symmetry, bringing one half into the other. This works for any 2-D chiral object. A 180 degree rotation through a third dimension is equivalent to a mirror in 2-D.
I want a pause button.
