Create an hemisphere on Jitter?

Hi! I’m new to Max/Jitter. Is it possible to create a hemisphere in Jitter? I’m trying to model an eye without the iris or pupil—just two white hemispheres. Any pointers or example patches would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

After a search in the forum I found one here in the original post (just set @auto_normals to 1 to get normals).

Here is another approach using the new jit.geom objects from Max 9:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Another one by using the [sphere] operator in [jit.gen]:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

And another one by removing half of the vertices from a sphere (doesn't give a exact hemisphere but shouldn't be an issue for your case):

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Finally, for an eyeball, what would prevent you from using an entire sphere?

gridshape matrixoutput to submatrix to a mesh is the old school, geom.shape to geom.crop is the new school, but there are a good number of more ways to skin this one.
