Twitter Bot

Description:

The 3Dbot takes images as input and maps them into a cube. The script creates multiple variations of these cubes changing the position and rotation of them. After doing that, the image is rendered and posted back to twitter.

The geometry is created using vapory and rendered using POVray.

Wow. Breaking the twitter wall :) Very good job.
You are really taking twitterbots to the next dimension!
