Z Function Surface
This script lets the user create a surface where the z coordinate
is a function of the x and y coordinates.
z = f(x,y)
X,Y,Z Function Surface
This script lets the user create a surface where the x, y and z
coordinates are defiend by a function.
x = f(u,v)
y = f(u,v)
z = f(u,v)
Usage:
You have to activated the script in the "Add-Ons" tab (user preferences).
The functionality can then be accessed via the
"Add Mesh" -> "Z Function Surface"
and
"Add Mesh" -> "X,Y,Z Function Surface"
menu.
Version history:
v0.3.6 - Various updates to match current Blender API.
Removed recall functionality.
Better code for align_matrix
Hopefully fixed bug where uMax was never reached. May cause other stuff.
v0.3.5 - createFaces can now "Flip" faces and create fan/star like faces.
v0.3.4 - Updated store_recall_properties, apply_object_align
and create_mesh_object.
Changed how recall data is stored.
v0.3.3 - API change Mathutils -> mathutils (r557)
v0.3.2 - Various fixes&streamlining by ideasman42/Campbell Barton.
r544 Compile expressions for faster execution
r544 Use operator reports for errors too
r544 Avoid type checks by converting to a float, errors
converting to a float are reported too.
Fixed an error Campbell overlooked (appending tuples to an
array, not single values) Thamnks for the report wild_doogy.
Added 'description' field, updated 'wiki_url'.
Made the script PEP8 compatible again.
v0.3.1 - Use hidden "edit" property for "recall" operator.
Bugfix: Z Function was mixing up div_x and div_y
v0.3 - X,Y,Z Function Surface (by Ed Mackey & tuga3d).
Renamed old function to "Z Function Surface".
Align the geometry to the view if the user preference says so.
Store recall properties in newly created object.
v0.2.3 - Use bl_info for Add-On information.
v0.2.2 - Fixed Add-On registration text.
v0.2.1 - Fixed some new API stuff.
Mainly we now have the register/unregister functions.
Also the new() function for objects now accepts a mesh object.
Changed the script so it can be managed from the "Add-Ons" tab
in the user preferences.
Added dummy "PLUGIN" icon.
Corrected FSF address.
Clean up of tooltips.
v0.2 - Added security check for eval() function
Check return value of eval() for complex numbers.
v0.1.1 - Use 'CANCELLED' return value when failing.
Updated web links.
v0.1 - Initial revision.
