What HN said
What people liked
Beautiful, well-done visuals
From 3 comments
This is beautiful and really well done. I especially like how the light reflects naturally as the knot rotates. How did you achieve that effect?
jonahx on HNThey are pretty
ragnar123 on HNVery nice work.

Objections
Bounce easing animation is too slow and hard
From 3 comments
This is cool, but what's the point of using the bounce easing? It just makes you wait an extra second before you can get a good look at the new model.
pimlottc on HNThe bounce is too hard. Also, what do the numbers mean?
jsprogrammer on HNI agree you overdid it. Also on the table view, the highlighted row spins too fast. But other than those minor quibbles, it's neat!

Requests
Mouse or touch rotation of the model
From 1 comment
Ah, cool. I was thinking that maybe 4sub1 should be a '3'. Any chance of being able to rotate the model using a mouse/touch?
