Epic, funny and useful! Thank you.

v1.2d
- [Added] R(t)3D mode. Add ^ symbol at the beginning of a R(t) formula to draw 3D graph.

^pow(t,a)/pow(10,2*a-2);-100;100;500;3

Born of the 3D world! ;)

This is my new script - FxGraph3D which allows drawing 3D parametric surfaces.
x = X(u,v), y = Y(u,v), z = Z(u,v), where u,v are the parametric domain parameters.




Here is some interesting parametric equations.

Very cool Max!

Thank you!

Version 1.0
Changes since 0.6:
[fixed] some bugs
[added] Command line parameters support. Click X(u,v), Y(u,v) or Z(u,v) label to copy values to the clipboard.

Examples:
_FxGraph3D (u);(v);rnd;-10;10;-10;10;10;15;;;;U
_FxGraph3D u*a+rnd-0.5;v*b+rnd-0.5;rnd*c-c/2;-10;10;-10;10;50;50;2;2;40;P
_FxGraph3D 2*(1-exp(u/(6*pi)))*cos(u)*cos(v/2)*cos(v/2);2*(-1+exp(u/(6*pi)))*sin(u)*cos(v/2)*cos(v/2);1-exp(u/(3*pi))-sin(v)+exp(u/(6*pi))*sin(v);0;20;0;6.283185307179586;50;50;;;;V
_FxGraph3D (2+v*sin(u))*sin(2*pi*v);v*cos(u);(2+v*sin(u))*cos(2*pi*v)+2*v-v;0;3.14;0;1.3;50;50;;;;V
_FxGraph3D sin(u);cos(u);u*u/300;0;60;0;1.3;100;0;;;;V

Michael, Thank you!

Hello all :)

It's nice and what do do with the curves?

X():cos(2*u)*cos(v) + 1.0 *cos(u)
Y():sin(v)
Z():-sin(2*u)*cos(v) + 1.0*sin(u)

[u]:0, 2*pi
[v]:0, 2*pi

And how do I get now to my mathematical NURBS model...?

Cool!
French version ; ) http://moiscript.weebly.com/fx-graph-3d.html

Very nice script!

Fermat Spiral:
_FxGraph3D a*c*sqrt(v)*cos(v);b*c*sqrt(v)*sin(v);0;0;1;0;6.283185307179586;0;50;1;1;1;UV

This can be pasted to the command window in Moi.
1. Highlight and CTRL-C the entire Fermat Spiral equation line above, _FxGraph3D...;UV
2. In Moi, press TAB key, and CTRL-V paste, then press Return. Voila

The a, b, and c values will scale the curve.
A negative c will rotate the curve.
A negative a and positive b will Mirror the curve.
a, b, and c are not really needed, as Moi can do these actions already.

- Brian

I just did a Fermat Spiral script, but can now delete it :-)
Or add some bells and whistles.

Maybe someone could come up with a repository for these formulas,
an easy place to copy them from, ... in Moi , or someplace like the object library?

Version 1.1beta
Changes since 1.0:
[added] Surface modes (beta): SrfV and SrfU. Use it carefully. Sometimes it can hang MoI for up to a few minutes.


>>Maybe someone could come up with a repository for these formulas, an easy place to copy them from, ... in Moi , or someplace like the object library?
Hi Brian!
It's good idea. I'll think about it.

Golden Logarithmic Spiral, also known as equiangular spiral, and Spira Mirabilis.
For growth factor b = 0.306349 (approx.), the Golden Spiral is formed, for angles in radians.
a is a scale factor.
c is the number of "coils."

Excellent!
The trick is run the Script then just take 2 curves from the result for make a Loft or a Sweep! ;)

---

Heart (half)
(c of 2 makes a full heart, but with two hairpin curve regions.)
_FxGraph3D a*16*sin(c*v)*sin(c*v)*sin(c*v);a*(13*cos(c*v)-5*cos(2*c*v)-2*cos(3*c*v)-cos(4*c*v));0;0;1;0;3.141592653589793;0;50;1;1;1;UV

With the last beta "Cancel" don't works with these parameters and reasonnable time!

---

I think it is a tradeoff due to the speed of the htm code?

While writing Math nodes for my nodeedit project, I found one significant bug in the FxGraph/3D code. The script incorrectly processes a square brackets and "rnd" command in some cases.
Updated scripts:

While exploring Scherk2 minimal surface, and hyperbola, these shapes came up:

sinhLeaf:
_FxGraph3D u;v;((exp(u) - exp((-1)*u))/2 + (exp(v) - exp((-1)*v))/2);-3.14159;3.14159;-3.14159;3.14159;15;15;0;0;0;UV

sinhcoshScoop:
_FxGraph3D u;v;((exp(u) - exp((-1)*u))/2 + (exp(v) + exp((-1)*v))/2);-3.14159;3.14159;-3.14159;3.14159;15;15;;;;UV

coshBag:
_FxGraph3D u;v;((exp(u) + exp((-1)*u))/2 + (exp(v) + exp((-1)*v))/2);-3.14159;3.14159;-3.14159;3.14159;15;15;;;;UV

The scripts can be stored in a notepad++ text file.

To repeat how to view in MoI, with Max's _FXGraph3D script already installed, highlight one entire line, press Ctrl+C.
Open MoI, press TAB, press Ctrl+V, press Enter.
Network can be used to make a quick surface.
