# Topological surfaces

Visual style (Techniques)
Source: https://visual-gallery.asami.tokyo/en/styles/topological-surfaces

Mathematical surfaces and curves such as torus knots and Möbius strips, drawn as ribbons of glowing lines.

## Palette
- #05050C Black (~78%)
- #3FD6F0 Cyan (~8%)
- #8E5BF0 Violet (~8%)
- #E64BBE Magenta (~6%)

## Visual traits
- A single closed curve winds around a hidden torus several times (a torus knot), passing over and under itself
- The curve is drawn as a ribbon of several parallel thin lines, so twists and depth are visible
- Color shifts iridescently along the ribbon (cyan, violet, magenta); nearer parts are brighter
- Glowing lines and particles are drawn with additive blending on a near-black background, so overlaps get brighter and bloom
- In motion, the form slowly rotates and light runs along the ribbon

## Prompt
Topological surface: a torus knot drawn as a ribbon of several thin parallel glowing lines winding around a hidden torus, passing over and under itself, iridescent cyan, violet and magenta along the ribbon, nearer parts brighter, on a near-black background with additive blending. As video, the form rotates slowly.

## Avoid
solid shaded 3D object, rope photo, flat 2D icon, white background, thick tube
