Abstract:
We describe a method for rendering multiple extremally charged black holes using an analogous system in classical optics, simplifying the prerequisite mathematics for generating accurate images. A primary goal of this work is to showcase a suite of techniques from geometry and relativity that may be of interest to illustrators and artists.
