It's funny, I never really noticed the scale 2 box until recently, and when I did, I noticed that it had a load of tunnels going straight though it.

I decided to try and work out where the largest ones were (there seems to be an infinite number of smaller ones), and it turned out that there's a whole network of them, crossing at right angles, meaning a spline curve might have some trouble fitting tightly around them, which was what gave me the idea for this video.



What I didn't take into account was how many places in the scale 2 box have either orthogonal parallel lines or concentric circles, so aliasing ended up being a bit of a problem in places.

Anyway, please enjoy.

Very nice. I never thought of doing that on a box.
