The physics must come in with refraction. The hidden/visible lines is math that I've seen. 😀 😛

Just imagine a simple object like a cube with its 12 edges. Rotate by some angle in two different directions. To calculate how much of each of the edges is visible to a particular viewer with a fixed eye you need trigonometric formulas. 😀 😛
Somebody had to write the software to so this kind of thing.![]()
Imagine further a diamond cube inside a glass cube with a beam of light shining through it. You can see why the calculations take time. 😀
THE THREAD image is composed of 16 spheres of varying transparencies and reflections inside one another. 😱
😀 😀 😛

Wow, that sounds very^999999999999999 complicated. 😱
😀 😛
