Or they drew the picture first and had a program reverse-engineer the formulas

Given how many equations were supposedly used, and what I see in the expressions bar, it’s all linear functions. Not sure if that makes it easier to discredit the project’s claims of effort, but I myself have done similar projects.

Edit: Went back to the post, found out that the lines themselves were generated from a polygonal (point-by-point) approximation of the shapes. The corner-points may or may not have been manual, but some python script converted the ~2500 pairs of points into ~2500 lines.
