I have been playing around with the superformula for a week or two now and I am totally addicted to created different shapes, forms, lines, and designs using this formula. Initially I developed a 2D application to explore the formula, but now I have extended it to 3D with a couple more rendering/texturing options to help highlight the aesthetic that can be rendered from this formula. The 3D application is minimal and fun to play with, download it here, or see more images after the link.
Recently, I have been exploring SuperShapes, which are organic shapes that are rendered by evaluating the superformula with different parameters. This formula creates some beautiful and very organic shapes that can be used in other graphics to make a dynamic graphic composition (either interactive or static). Doing this in Matlab or Mathematica is interesting, but I wanted to make something a little more interactive, minimal and fun to play with so I designed a application that can be used to create these shapes and render an image of them at a super high resolution, like the image below (5333×2100). I’m developing a 3D version of this that should be stellar to play with, coming very soon. Download the Application or See more Renders.
