Hypocycloid Vase

Inspired by the 5-hypocycloid that can "roll" inside of a 6-hypocycloid (as shown in the GIF). To make the vase design, the z-axis takes the place of time for a rotation.

If you look from the right angle down the z-axis, you can see the 6-hypocycloid that is swept out as the 5-hypocycloid moves vertically.

Rolling animation and source code available on github.

This design is used as a building block for my Hypocycloid Christmas Tree.
