Definition of supershape in 2 dimensions. But im stuck in implementing the Extension to 3D using the spherical product. I don't know how to bound my angles beetween -PI and PI and -PI/2 to PI/2 and also if I need to create normal. then Ill create a mesh. Here is my hip file. Thks for reading, salve! reference :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superformula http://mysterydate.github.io/superFormulaGenerator/ HIP FILE: superformulas.hipnc Edited July 28, 2016 by ezza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_lord Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I would like to see this too! I had a crack at it, but I'm really bad at maths, and I'm not confident I've done it correctly. Anyway - theres a hip here on my tumblr http://richardlord.tumblr.com/post/143907924956/hurray-i-got-the-3d-version-to-work-im-not 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I really don't know anything about this level of math of what your really trying to achieve But heres a video of a guy doing superformulas in Houdini ### removed video ### that video is from the CGWorkshops - VEX in Houdini course and really shouldn't be on YouTube...nothing I can do about that but I'd rather not have it linked here.

Gilly123 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I stumbled on the tutorial on youtube as well. Fantastic teacher he is. I had been scouring for VEX related videos related to shape drawing. Looking at the workshop that is available, wow! Not a cheap adventure, but more a tax write off for anyone in business. Being retired, I cannot afford this. I'm surprised it is up there as well, after learning it was produced as a pay per view. CGWorkshop needs to get w/ youtube to clean that from the web.
