The parameterization of the Etruscan Venus is due to George Frances. Etruscan Venus

y := r * sin(2*u) * cv - sv * su

The Figure-8 Klein Bottle Klein bottle parameterization is from ``Differential Geometry and Computer Graphics'' by Thomas Banchoff, in Perspectives in Mathematics, Anniversary of Oberwolfasch 1984, Birkh\"{a}user-Verlag, Basel, pp. 43-60.
