This is not a sphere

At CLYDE we like to play with simple geometric concepts and see where they take us. Let's look at one example.

Below we see a yellow sphere in CAD (Computer Aided Design) space. Let's play with it!

First, we'll introduce a flat plane, shown here in blue. Notice that the plane is placed so it intersects the sphere. It's slicing right through. Now let's draw a line right where the sphere and plane intersect, and then delete the blue plane.

You can see the result below. There is no longer a blue plane, but the line shows where it once passed through the sphere.

Now we'll do it again. Here are two more planes.

Following the same steps as before we can now see where all three planes passed through the sphere.

Now for the fun part: let's delete the sphere too. As you can see below there is no sphere, and there are no planes either. But those three oval shapes are telling a story about what was there just a moment ago: it's the memory of a sphere.

We designed an algorithm to automate this process, allowing us to tell the software how many randomly placed planes we want to intersect the sphere. Let's start with about a dozen. There is no sphere here and there are no planes either, but already it's clear where the sphere once was due to the evidence the planes left behind.

This one has about a hundred invisible planes intersecting with an invisible sphere.

And how about 600?

And lastly here's the evidence of 2,000 planes passing through 1 sphere. It's just so fun!

And now you know how the Sphere Field series was created for our tees and totes. People are going to ask you about your tee!
