Mathematica apprentice

My gravatar is an eternal golden braid, made with the following Mathematica code:

Graphics3D[{
  GrayLevel[.3], Specularity[White, 15],
  Lighting -> {{"Directional", 
     RGBColor[1, .5, .4], {{5, 5, 10}, {5, 5, 0}}},
    {"Point", Yellow, {12, 3, 15}},  
    {"Point", White, {12, 3, 4}}},
  KnotData[{"TorusKnot", {2, 5}}, "ImageData"]}, 
 ViewVector -> {{0, 0, 5}, {0, 0, 0}}, Boxed -> False, 
 Background -> None, Axes -> False, ImageSize -> 1000]

@bobthechemist best is to add your own answer and accept it. Comments aren't regarded as permanent enough for answers. And you don't have to accept this answer (it was just a PoC)...!

comment Why ImportString[ExportString[, “PDF”], “PDF”] sometimes gives an extra point
@Jens So another way of distinguishing between Times and Times New Roman...! :) The problem also appears in some other fonts, eg a Helvetica "g" (but not Helvetica Neue).

comment No anti-aliasing on BarChart3D?
Is Antialiasing a valid option for BarChart3D? (Not at a Mathematica machine at the moment?)

So it's a platform thing. With more details, perhaps others can help.

comment 3D orbits and inaccuracy over time
Odd. Mine's been running at the same speed for 15 minutes... The lines are slightly thicker towards the end of the run - but I think that looks more realistic :)

If you're interested in this type of geometry, you might enjoy Yu-sung Chan's presentation.

I didn't edit the last sentence of your question. Could you explain what you're asking?
