Defining curves and maybe surfaces using mathematical functions

It would be a very useful feature indeed to be able to create curves or even surfaces using a mathematical equation input mode.

For things sush as exact parabolic shapes

Could/is this going to be done?

Hi Insquall - that is something that I would like to add eventually like as a plugin or something, but it will probably be quite a long while before I'll be able to focus on that.

It just is not a major focus area of MoI to do mathematical analysis type work.

In a lot of ways, I've tried hard to make MoI more accessible to people who don't have an extensive math background. A mathematical equation input mode would definitely be heavy on the math side...

Hi Insquall and Michael G.

Insquall, not to be too simple minded, but in the time being try doing what I am showing in the attached JPEG. Hope this is what you are talking about. If not, sorry.

Yes thank you I hadn't thought of that method :) , but these round about techniques can be somewhat tiresome.
