dear vector lovers, my expr of the superformula was wrong.

Hey Didi,

Assuming that the jit.gl.nurbs object inside, and a few others aren't

supposed to be hooked up to anything, it is working and is quite beautiful

and powerful. Funny though, I had tried changing the suffix on the other

Might you also send me a version of the BoundedBFGParticles that you posted

hmm... i cant get either of those attachments to appear in Max (osx).

thanks for sharing, that works fine! I really like the shapes you can get out of this patch. Could you explain a little more about the equations in the 3d supershape sub patcher? Particularly the ones above the sphere / spiral equations...

for the record, i downloaded the first one and added ".pat" to the end and it worked. which brings me to the point:

GREAT PATCH. Thanks for transcribing the Superformula. I've wired this into a game controller (saitek p990, fwiw), and expanded it to 4 meshes, rather than 1. Blend modes and automaterial off is highly recommended for those playing with it. 

Also recommended is moving the "r to_shape" (that sends drawing bangs) to attach to only the jit.gl.mesh object, rather than to all the jit.expr objects. You can bang those only when you need a new matrix of geometry for the mesh.

I'm not putting examples here becuase my version of the patch is a horrid mess of experimentation, and not fit for general consumption :)

for those who want to mess with blendmodes, I use this patch to experiment:

HI! this definitely makes sense. otherwise too much cpu. i did so in later versions.

you can also use a different input: use formula for radius theta and phi as inputs for radius phi and radius theta and you get spirals in spirals etc. but very cpu intensive. so a shader definitely makes sense.

please upload some pix to the jitter pool!

also for the lighting and texturing.

Sorry to be such a beginner on this 
but i m interesting in the patch
and i can t really open none of them
I m running with 4.6 jitt & max

copy all the text starting with #P and paste in a new patcher window or Max>file>New from clipboard.

for the attachement you may do as pnyober suggests in a previous post on this thread : "for the record, i downloaded the first one and added ".pat" to the end and it worked."

Ehm, sorry to bother on this, any chance anyone uploading the jit.expr version?

I am still in Max5 and not the best mathematician.

I tried to implement directly from pb site but with results which are not only unsuccessful but also uncreative...

don´t bother, I found this thread, great starting point!
