For this particular math, maybe the hot-off-the-press
Make Supershape 3D Object
node would help? Available for testing in the 1.2.7 alpha version.For this particular math,
Awesome, Jaymie! Well, mine was a "wonder if I can get this to work" moment, and it does, pretty much, still working on getting the formula in order as I'm still not 100% on the proper way to approach the expected formulas for the parametric nodes. And one advantage of using
Make Parametric Grid
, of course, is plugging in numbers where they weren't meant to be plugged in....Would it be too much to ask what the proper supershape formulas would be for X, Y, Z on
Make Parametric Grid
? Relying a little too much on trial and error.... Just looking to learn about the node!The formulas are in the
The formulas are in the source code, which you can get from https://vuo.org/releases . Both
Make Parametric Grid Mesh
andMake Supershape
call the same function to generate their mesh,VuoMeshParametric_generate
. Innode/vuo.scene/vuo.scene.make.supershape.c
, search forVuoMeshParametric_generate
and you'll see the formulas. You can compare them tonode/vuo.scene/vuo.mesh.make.parametric.c
.Oh yeah, thanks, Jaymie! (Hmm
Oh yeah, thanks, Jaymie! (Hmm, I need to turn on notifications, I missed this when you wrote it).
