The No-Fit-State structure is much smaller than other structures like the kayam, valhalla or MT66, it's only 36m (118 ft) diameter. Though with a purple interior, a silver exterior and no visible support, it's unique.

The 20-pole Kayam concert tent is about 7,500m² (80,730 ft²), blue and has an internal span of 40m (131 ft). This was the main stage the Summer Sound System.

The MT66 structure is a larger system than the Kayam with a span of 66m (217 ft), though this six-pole installation had a smaller internal area (5,010m², 53,930 ft²) than the Kayam. This isn't the largest structural system of it's kind, the Tensile1/Valhalla tent is bigger.

Image patterner is capable of mapping an image onto any rectangular mesh surface, not just a sphere

A black and white image of the moon assembled from Clementine images and a relief map of mars, split with IP Slicer into segments of a sphere.

This is a perl script for taking a spherical panorama image (or a spherical globe map) and slicing it into segments suitable for sticking together into a 3d sphere.

This is some software I'm writing to create cutting patterns for 3d surfaces. This is similar to Patterner for Windows except that instead of just outputting an outline for cutting, it outputs a series of full-colour images for printing based on any source image. For example, using this program I can pre-print all the panels of a complex shape like a tent so that the structure has a photograph printed over the entire surface.

A test of ip-slicer to see how latitudinal lines are mapped to the segments of a sphere
